Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can cause a variety of losses, including expensive medical expenses, loss of income and damages not based on economics, such as suffering and pain. A reputable New York attorney can help you know your rights to be compensated.
First, determine if your injuries were caused by a medical error. Then you can pursue the legal process of a malpractice suit.
Medical expenses
The cost of medical care to treat injuries is the most obvious. This type of damages comes with limitations established by law in each state, which is determined in the liability insurance policy of a healthcare provider. Some states also establish injured patient compensation funds to help offset the perceived cost of litigation, and also to help drive down liability premiums for providers.
Victims can claim compensation in addition to medical costs when negligence is found to be a cause. These are called special or economic damages. They include the cost of medical care (past or in the future) needed to treat the injury caused by the malpractice lawsuit and also any income lost due to being in a position of being unable to work.
Damages for pain and suffering are also typical in medical malpractice cases. The amount of damages for pain and suffering can differ widely among claimants and is a subjective one. This includes emotional distress, physical pain and other non-physical consequences of the negligence. For example an individual plaintiff could be compensated for a mistake made by a doctor that caused her to miss a crucial cancer screening appointment.
Additionally, punitive damages are also possible in certain cases. These are intended to punish a physician for particularly egregious behavior, like leaving a sponge in a patient after surgery.
Pain and suffering
In medical malpractice cases there is pain and suffering as a type non-economic damages. The damages are based on the physical and psychological trauma victims suffered as a result of a doctor's negligence. The symptoms can be minor such as pain or anxiety or they can be major, like loss of enjoyment in life or depression, embarrassment, or anxiety.
As it's hard to put a dollar value on suffering and suffering, the jury instructions generally leave it to the jurors. They can rely on their judgment, knowledge and experience to determine what they believe is fair and reasonable. As a result, the amount of money awarded in malpractice cases vary greatly.
Your medical malpractice lawyer can help you prove the extent of your pain using evidence that is demonstrably backed by. Photographs and X-rays as well as home videos, diagrams and models will help jurors understand the extent of your injuries.
If a negligent doctor caused the death of a victim, survivors can seek compensation through the wrongful death lawsuit or through survival statutes. Wrongful death law allows the spouse and children of a deceased victim to receive the same amount of compensation they would have received had the patient survived. The amount the victim can collect is usually restricted by the state's cap on pain and suffering. It is important to have an experienced medical malpractice lawyer on your side to get the compensation that you deserve.
Lost wages
You are able to recover your lost wages if you miss work because of medical malpractice. This includes your base pay commissions, bonuses and benefits from employment, pay increases, and retirement fund contributions. Your attorney will examine your pay stubs from the past to calculate your earnings per hour before the injury, and then subtract out your missed work to arrive at your total lost wages. Your lawyer can help you calculate your future loss of income by using a present value calculation. This is an analysis of finances that looks at the impact of your injuries in the future on your ability to earn a living. It's usually performed by a specialist commissioned by your attorney.
You can also seek non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, caused by the malpractice. The jury will decide the amount of compensation that is appropriate which varies from case to case. However, some states have a limit on these damages, and they've been ruled illegal in a variety of cases.
Settlements of seven figures are usually caused by serious permanent injuries or death caused by severe healthcare neglect. For example, surgical mistakes leading to amputations, mistakes in obstetrics that lead to the brain of an infant and deaths, and anesthesia errors which cause comas can all result in high-value settlements. Punitive damages, which are designed to punish bad behaviour, may also be available in certain cases.
Future medical treatment and damages
In a case of medical negligence the plaintiff may pursue economic or non-economic damages. The first is based on quantifiable financial losses such as future and past medical expenses. The latter is more difficult to quantify, and includes pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment. In a medical negligence lawsuit, the jury must examine expert testimony to determine the losses of these kinds.
Past medical expenses are relatively easy to prove by submitting actual bills from the injured person's health care providers. For future expenses, the plaintiff's lawyer will provide medical evidence that demonstrates what treatment is likely to be required in the future and how much the treatments cost today. The amount of future medical care required could be affected by the age of the victim at the time of the malpractice.
Damages for future lost wages can be proved by showing the impact of the injury on a patient's capacity to work and earn in the future. This can be proved by expert testimony from a witness or by looking at similar cases in the previous.
Pain and suffering is an umbrella term that covers the mental and physical discomfort and stress that patients suffer as a result of medical negligence. This kind of claim is typically based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses as well as evidence like videotapes, photographs and written reports.
