Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can cause many damages, including high-cost medical treatment, lost income and non-economic damages like suffering and pain. A New York attorney who is competent can assist you in understanding the rights to compensation you have.
The first step is to determine if you have suffered injuries because of a medical mistake. The next step is to make a claim for malpractice law firms.
Medical expenses
The expense of medical treatment to treat injuries is the most obvious. It's important to understand that this category of damages is capped by state law at a limit set by the liability of a health provider's insurance policy. Some states also set up injured patient compensation funds to offset the perceived cost of litigation and help reduce the cost of liability for providers.
In addition to medical expenses Victims are also entitled to compensation for other expenses caused by the negligence. These are known as special or economic damages. These include the cost of medical treatment (past or future) needed to treat the injury caused by the negligence as well as any loss of income due to being incapable of working.
In medical malpractice cases, pain and suffering damages are also typical. This type of damage can differ widely among claimants and is considered to be subjective. This includes physical pain, emotional distress and other physical consequences of the malpractice. For example an individual plaintiff could be paid for a mistake by a doctor which caused her to miss a crucial cancer screening appointment.
In some instances punitive damages could be given. They are intended to penalize a doctor for particularly egregious behavior, such as leaving a dirty sponge inside the patient's body following surgery.
Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering is a type of non-economic loss in medical malpractice cases. They are a way to compensate for the emotional and physical trauma a victim has suffered as a result of a medical professional's negligence. The symptoms can be minor such as anxiety or discomfort or even more severe, such as the loss of enjoyment or depression, embarrassment or anxiety, and sleep disorders.
It's hard to determine the value of suffering and pain, so jury instructions usually leave it to jurors to use their personal judgment as well as their background and experience in determining what they think is reasonable and fair. As a result, the amount awarded in malpractice cases vary significantly.
Your medical malpractice lawyer can assist you in proving the severity of your suffering through evidence that is tangible. Images and Xrays, as well as home models, movies and diagrams will help jurors understand the severity of your injuries.
If a doctor's negligence led to the death of a patient, the survivors can seek compensation through the wrongful death lawsuit or through survival statutes. Wrongful death law allows the spouse and children of a victim who died to receive the same amount of money they would have received if the patient had survived. The amount that a victim is entitled to is usually restricted by the state's cap on suffering and pain. It is important to have a seasoned medical malpractice lawyer by your side to get the compensation that you deserve.
Loss of wages
You may be able to recover lost wages in the event that you miss work due to medical malpractice. This amount includes your base pay bonus, commissions and employment benefits, as well as pay increases, and retirement fund contributions. Your attorney will review past pay stubs and calculate your average earnings prior the accident. Then, subtract your missed work from that amount to arrive at total lost wages. Your lawyer can help you calculate your future loss of income through a current value calculation. This is an analysis of financials that analyzes the effects of your injuries into the future on your ability to earn an income. It is usually done by a professional who is hired by your attorney.
In addition to reimbursing your economic losses, it is also possible to recover non-economic damages to compensate for pain and suffering that was caused by the incident. The jury will decide the appropriate amount of compensation that can differ from case to case. Certain states, however, have a limit on these damages, and they've been struck down as unconstitutional in several cases.
Settlements of seven figures tend to be related to serious permanent injuries or death caused by extreme healthcare negligence. Settlements with high value may be awarded for among other things, surgical mistakes that cause amputations or brain injury to infants and mothers as well as anesthesia errors that can cause comas. Punitive damages, which are intended to punish bad behavior can also be awarded in certain instances.
Damages to future medical treatment
In a case of medical negligence the plaintiff may pursue economic or non-economic damages. The former are based on calculable financial losses, including future and past medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify, and includes the pain and suffering as well as the loss of enjoyment of life. In a lawsuit involving medical negligence the jury has to hear expert testimony to assess the damages of these kinds.
Past medical expenses are relatively easy to prove by submitting actual bills from the victim's health medical providers. For future expenses, the attorney for the plaintiff will submit medical evidence that demonstrates the kind of treatment likely to be required in the future and the amount that those treatments cost currently. The amount of medical treatments required could be affected by the age of the victim when they were injured.
Proving damages for future lost wages is attainable by demonstrating how the injury has affected the patient's future earning capacity and ability to work. This may be supported by expert testimony or by looking at similar cases from the past.
Pain and suffering is a broad class of damages that encompasses the physical and emotional pain and pain that a patient suffers due to medical negligence. This kind of damage is usually based on the testimony of witnesses and the victim as well as evidence like photographs videos, audiotapes, and written reports.
