Medical Malpractice Settlements
It isn't always easy to obtain full compensation for medical malpractice. Patients who suffer from malpractice must bargain with the doctor who was accused and their insurance company, legally referred to as defendants.
How do juries and judges judge the value of the case? This article will explore the key aspects that make up the calculation of a settlement for malpractice.
Damages
Generally, a medical malpractice settlement is comprised of two distinct types of damages that are non-economic and economic. Economic damages are based on the possibility of calculating losses, such as medical bills as well as future costs. Non-economic damages include the pain and suffering of others, disfigurement and loss of enjoyment of life.
When negotiating a medical malpractice settlement, you and your attorney will work with economists and other financial experts to determine the value of your losses. If you are permanently disabled due to an error by a doctor, the value of your future lost income is also determined. This is known as the present value and is a complex calculation that your lawyer will hire an expert to assist.
It is therefore important to have a medical malpractice attorney with years of expertise on your side. Based on the degree of your injury, you could be eligible for thousands or millions in compensation.
Many kinds of medical malpractice have the highest settlement value such as missed diagnosis, prenatal mistakes which cause maternal pain, and minor surgical mistakes. Certain malpractice cases are, however, less expensive settlement amounts. These include minor surgical errors or allergic reactions that can be treated with medication. These types of injuries aren't as likely to result in the disability that lasts for a lifetime and do not merit the same indemnity as serious injuries which require continuous treatment.
Litigation costs
As with any malpractice case there are a myriad of factors that impact the value of a settlement for medical malpractice lawyer. Economic damages are the amount of future and past expenses due to the malpractice incident. Other damages are also included.
The first is any medical bills that you have been able to pay and the costs for future medical treatment, in addition to any lost wages resulting from being off work because of your injury. The second kind of compensation is for suffering, pain and the loss of quality of life due to the negligence which caused your injury. Non-economic damages vary based on the severity of an injury. This is determined with a severity multiplier (also called a multiplier) that ranges between two and five.
It could appear that doctors are being dragged to the courtroom by frivolous lawsuits but the truth is malpractice lawsuits are just 0.3 percent of healthcare costs. They are needed to ensure patients receive the medical treatment they require. The majority of medical malpractice cases are settled out of court with attorneys computing a reasonable settlement in monetary terms.
The where you filed your claim will also impact its value. State laws determine the minimum value for a medical malpractice claim. For instance, jurors in Baltimore City and Prince George's County generally are very supportive toward victims of medical malpractice, whereas Anne Arundel, Carroll County, and Montgomery County are less so.
Attorney's Fees
In the majority of medical malpractice cases lawyers are paid on the basis of contingency. This means that the lawyer is not paid until they are able to negotiate a settlement or verdict for you, whether through negotiations or trial. This can be an excellent way to receive professional legal representation without having to pay the initial costs of hiring an attorney in a typical case.
If a malpractice lawsuit succeeds, your lawyer will charge you a fixed percentage of the amount you receive in compensation. It's usually 33%, but may vary dependent on the experience of your lawyer and skill. Since your lawyer is only paid if they recover money for you their interests are aligned with yours. They will always strive to maximize the amount of money you get in your malpractice settlement.
This arrangement may be beneficial for certain victims, but it could be detrimental when dealing with medical malpractice cases. A fee structure that pits lawyers financial interests against their clients' is detrimental to the relationship between client and lawyer. This kind of fee structure provides an incentive for lawyers to inform clients to settle their cases for less than they are worth. This could be detrimental for many clients.
Settlements Outside the Courtroom
Despite what you may be seeing on television, over 90 percent of viable malpractice cases are settled out of court with the assistance of attorneys computing a reasonable monetary settlement. This is because insurance companies tend to settle out of court rather than go through expensive litigation.
During negotiations to settle a case in the event of an injury, claimants are entitled to compensation both for economic and non-economic damage. Economic damages refer to the past and future medical expenses, which include medications or rehabilitation therapy. The damages also pay for lost wages resulting from absence from work because of it.
Non-economic damages, on other hand, address mental anguish and loss of quality of life. Mental anguish can be characterized as extreme emotional stress, which can lead to post-traumatic disorder as well as anger, apathy and depression. Loss of Quality of Life is the inability to exercise or sleeping or maintaining healthy relationships.
Many doctors and insurance companies believe that malpractice claims have created an unfair trend in settlement awards. But, research and data show that medical negligence claims only represent 0.3 percent of the healthcare costs.
A settlement without a court hearing permits the victim to retain their privacy, and prevents public disclosure about what happened. By contrast going to trial could force the victim to recall the events that they went through and could expose them to harsh judgments from others. This makes the decision to settle a case outside of court an important one that each victim should carefully consider.
