Medical Malpractice Settlements
It can be difficult to receive complete compensation for medical negligence. Malpractice victims have to negotiate with the doctor in question and their insurance provider legally known as the defendants.
How do juries and judges judge the value of an instance? This article will look at the main elements that determine the calculation of a settlement for malpractice.
Damages
In general the case of a settlement for medical malpractice is composed of two kinds of damages both economic and non-economic. Economic damages are based on calculable expenses, such as medical bills as well as future costs. Non-economic damages include the pain and suffering of others, disfigurement and loss enjoyment of living.
When negotiating a medical malpractice settlement, you and your attorney will work with economists and other financial experts to determine the value of your damages. If you suffer permanent disability due to an error by a doctor, the value of future lost income is also determined. This is called the present value, and it is an intricate calculation, for which your lawyer will hire a specialist to assist.
This is why it is crucial to have an experienced medical malpractice attorney on your side. You could be entitled thousands or millions of dollars in compensation based on the severity and extent of your injury.
Many types of medical malpractice cases have a high settlement value, including misdiagnosis, prenatal mistakes that cause maternal suffering, and minor surgical mistakes. However, some malpractice cases have lower settlement value. It could be because of reactions to allergies that were cured with medication, or a minor error in surgery where the injury was not significant. These types of injuries are less likely to cause permanent disability, and therefore do not warrant the same amount of compensation as a more serious injury that requires regular treatment.
Costs of Litigation
As with any malpractice case, there are numerous factors that determine the value of a settlement for medical malpractice attorneys. Economic damages are the amount of future and past costs incurred as a result of the malpractice incident. Additionally, non-economic damages are included.
The first is the cost of any medical bills you've incurred, the anticipated costs of future medical treatment and any lost wages resulting from time off from work because of your injury. The second type of compensation is for suffering, pain and a decrease in the quality of your life as a result the negligence that caused your injury. Non-economic damages are based on the severity of an injury. This is determined with a seriousness multiplier (also called a multiplier), which can range between two and five.
It may seem that doctors are being forced into court by frivolous lawsuits but the truth is malpractice suits only represent 0.3 percent of healthcare costs. They are needed to ensure that patients receive the medical care they require. The majority of medical malpractice cases settle out of court with lawyers calculating a fair settlement in monetary terms.
The the location of your claim will also affect the value. State laws determine the minimum value for an medical malpractice claim. For instance jurors in Baltimore City and Prince George's County are generally very favorable to 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 will work on a basis of contingency fees. The lawyer will not be paid unless you receive a settlement, verdict or award via negotiations or trial. This is an excellent option to get high quality legal representation without having to come up with the initial costs of hiring an attorney in a typical case.
If you win a malpractice lawsuit your lawyer will be charged a percentage of the compensation you receive. It's typically 33% but can vary according to the lawyer's experience and skill. Because your lawyer only gets paid if they collect funds for you, their interests are aligned with yours. They'll always be determined to maximize the amount of money you get in the settlement you receive for your malpractice.
This arrangement may be beneficial to some victims, but it could be detrimental when dealing with medical malpractice cases. A fee arrangement that pits the financial interests of lawyers against those of their clients is inherently unhealthy for the relationship between the lawyer and client. This type of fee structure provides an incentive for lawyers to inform clients to settle their cases for less than they are worth. This could be harmful to a large number of clients.
Settlements Outside of the Courtroom
Despite what you may watch on TV, more than 90 percent of viable malpractice cases settle out-of-court with the assistance of lawyers making a reasonable settlement. This is due to the fact that insurance companies tend to settle outside of court rather than go through expensive litigation.
During the medical malpractice settlement negotiations, injured claimants seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover future and past medical bills as well as any medication or rehabilitation therapy costs. They also include the lost wages that result from being off work as a result of the medical negligence.
Non-economic damages are aimed at addressing mental anguish, and loss of quality. Mental anxiety can manifest as extreme emotional distress that results in post-traumatic stress disorder, apathy anger, and depression. Loss of enjoyment of life can be caused by the inability to exercise and sleep or maintain healthy relationships.
Many doctors and insurers believe that malpractice claims are contributing to an unjust trend of increasing settlement awards. However, studies and data reveal that medical negligence claims are only about 0.3 percent of the healthcare costs.
A settlement without a court hearing permits the victim to retain their privacy and avoids public disclosure of what transpired. By contrast going to trial could force the victim to recall the pain they experienced and could subject them to hurtful judgments from others. This is why the decision to settle the case out of court an important one that each victim should carefully consider.
