They cover the cost of any medical treatments (past and future) which are required to treat the injury that resulted from the malpractice, as as any lost income due to not being able to work because of the injury.
In medical malpractice cases, pain and damages are also common. This type of damage is subjective and may vary greatly between different plaintiffs. It includes any physical pain, emotional distress and other physical or psychological effects caused by the mistake. A plaintiff, for instance, could be compensated if the doctor's error which caused her to not take part in a crucial cancer screening.
In some instances punitive damages could be awarded. They are meant to penalize a physician for particularly egregious conduct, such as leaving a sponge inside the patient after surgery.
Suffering and pain
In medical malpractice cases, pain and suffering is a form of non-economic damages. They cover the emotional and physical trauma a victim endured as a result of a medical professional's negligence.

In general, however, the total amount of damages that a victim is able to collect is limited by the state's damage limits for suffering and pain.

For instance, surgical errors that result in amputations, obstetric errors leading to the brain of an infant and death, as well as anesthesia errors which cause comas can all result in high-value settlements. In certain instances, punitive damages may be used to punish bad conduct.
