Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can result in numerous losses, such as expensive medical care, lost income, and other damages that are not economic like suffering and pain. A New York attorney who is competent can assist you in understanding the rights to compensation that you have.
The first step is to determine if you have suffered injuries as a result of a medical error. Then you can file a malpractice lawsuit.
Medical expenses
The cost of medical care to treat injuries is the most obvious. It is important to know that this type of damage is restricted by state law to a certain amount as stipulated in the health care provider's liability insurance policy. Certain states also have injured patient compensation funds to help offset the cost of litigation, and also to help lower the cost of liability insurance for providers.
In addition to medical expenses Victims are also entitled to compensation for the other costs caused by the negligence. These are referred to as special or economic damages. They include the costs of any medical procedures (past and future) that are necessary to address the injury resulting from the negligence, as well the loss of income due to being unable to work because of the injury.
In medical malpractice cases, pain and suffering damages are also typical. This category of damages is a subjective one and can vary greatly between different claimants. This includes emotional distress, physical pain and other non-physical effects of the malpractice. A plaintiff, for instance, could be compensated if a doctor made a mistake that caused her not to attend a vital cancer screening.
In some cases punitive damages can be awarded. They are intended to penalize an individual doctor for the most egregious behaviour, such as leaving an unclean sponge in the patient's body following surgery.
Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering is a type of non-economic loss in medical malpractice cases. They cover the physical and emotional trauma a victim has suffered because of the medical professional's negligence. The symptoms can be minor such as anxiety or discomfort or even more severe issues, like loss of enjoyment in life and depression, embarrassment, anxiety, and sleep issues.
It is difficult to assign a value on the amount of suffering and pain, jury instructions generally leave it up to the jurors. They can rely on their judgment, background and experience to decide what they believe to be fair and reasonable. As a result, the amount paid in malpractice cases vary in a wide range.
Your medical malpractice attorney can assist you in proving your case with evidence. Photos, X-rays, models, home movies, diagrams, and drawings could help a jury determine the extent of your injuries and how they affect your daily routine.
If a doctor's negligence led to the death of a victim, family members can seek damages through the wrongful death lawsuit or through survival statutes. The laws governing wrongful death typically allow the spouse and children to claim the same type of compensation as they would've received if the patient had survived. In most cases, however the total amount of damages an individual victim receives is restricted by the state's damage limits for suffering and pain. This is why it's important to have a seasoned medical malpractice attorney on your side to fight for the justice you deserve.
Loss of wages
You can recover your lost wages in the event that you miss work due to medical malpractice. This amount includes your base pay as well as commissions, bonuses and benefits from employment, raises in pay, and retirement fund contributions. Your attorney will look over your pay stubs and previous pay statements to determine your average earnings prior to your injury. You will then subtract out your missing work to determine the total loss of wages. Your attorney can also assist you in determining the future loss of earnings using a present value calculation. This is a complex analysis of financials that considers the effects of your injuries on your capacity to work in the future, and it's usually done by a specialist hired by your attorney.
In addition, to compensating your economic losses, you may also claim non-economic damages for the pain and suffering caused by the incident. The jury will decide the appropriate compensation amount that can differ from case to case. Some states cap these damages. However, they have been declared unconstitutional by several courts.
Settlements of seven figures tend to be associated with serious permanent injuries or death caused by extreme healthcare neglect. Settlements with high values can be awarded for among other things, surgical errors that cause amputations or brain damage to infants or mothers and also anesthesia errors that can cause comas. In certain circumstances punitive damages could be available to punish the bad behavior.
Damages for future medical care
In a medical malpractice lawsuit there are two types of damages a plaintiff can seek: economic and non-economic damages. The first is based on measurable losses, such as past or future medical expenses. The latter is more difficult to quantify, which includes suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In a medical malpractice lawsuit the jury will have to hear testimony from experts to determine these kinds of losses.
Past medical expenses are easy to prove by providing actual bills from the person who was injured's health medical providers. For future expenses, the lawyer for the plaintiff will submit medical evidence that shows the type of treatment that is likely to be required in the near future and how much those treatments cost currently. The amount of future medical treatment needed could be affected by the age of the victim at the time of the malpractice.
Proving damages for future lost earnings is possible if you can show how the injury affected the patient's earning capacity and ability to work. This could be substantiated by expert testimony or examining similar cases in the past.
Pain and suffering is a umbrella term that refers to the mental and physical distress and discomfort which patients suffer because of medical malpractice. This kind of claim is typically based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses and other evidence such as videotapes, photographs and written reports.
