Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can lead to numerous expenses, including costly medical treatment, lost income and damages not based on economics, such as suffering and pain. A New York attorney who is experienced can help you understand the rights to compensation you have.
The first step is to determine whether you suffered injuries due to a medical error. Then, you can proceed with an action for malpractice.
Medical expenses
The most obvious cost of malpractice lawsuits is the cost of medical care required to treat the results of the injuries. It's important to realize that this type of damage is capped by law of the state to a certain amount as stipulated in the liability of a health provider's insurance policy. Certain states also have established injured patient compensation funds in order to help offset the costs of litigation, and also help providers lower their liability insurance costs.
Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical expenses when negligence is found to be a contributing factor. These are known as special or economic damages. They cover the costs of any medical procedures (past and future) required to treat the injuries resulting from the malpractice, as well as any lost income due to being unable to work due to the injury.
Damages for pain and suffering are also typical in medical malpractice cases. This type of damage is a bit different for each claimant and is a subjective one. This includes emotional distress, physical pain as well as other non-physical consequences of the error. For instance, a plaintiff could be compensated for a doctor's mistake which caused her to miss a crucial cancer screening appointment.
In some cases punitive damages can be granted. They are meant to penalize a physician for particularly egregious behavior, for example, leaving a sponge in a patient after surgery.
Suffering and pain
In medical malpractice cases there is pain and suffering as a type non-economic damages. They are a way to compensate for the emotional and physical trauma suffered by a victim due to the negligent doctor's actions. The symptoms can be minor like discomfort or anxiety or they could be more severe such as a loss of joy in life as well as depression, embarrassment or fear.
It's difficult to put an amount of money on the suffering and suffering of others, which is why jury instructions typically leave it up to the jurors to use their personal judgment, background, and experience in determining what is fair and reasonable. This is why the amounts awarded in malpractice cases vary significantly.
Your medical malpractice attorney can help you prove the severity of your suffering through evidence that can be used to prove your case. Photos and X-rays, as well as home movies, models and diagrams can assist jurors in understanding the extent of your injuries.
If a doctor's negligence led to the death of a patient, the beneficiaries can collect damages through the wrongful death lawsuit or through survival statutes. Wrongful death law allows the spouse and children of the deceased victim to receive the same compensation they would have received if the patient survived. Generally, however, the amount an individual victim receives is restricted by the state's damage limits for pain and suffering. This is why it's important to find a skilled medical malpractice attorney on your side to fight for the justice you deserve.
Loss of wages
You can recover your lost wages if you are unable to work due to medical malpractice. This amount includes your base salary plus bonuses, commissions, and employment benefits. It also includes any pay increases or pay increases. Your attorney will look over your pay stubs from the past to calculate your average earnings prior to the injury, and after that, subtract your missing work to determine the total loss of earnings. Your attorney can also assist you in determining your future loss of earnings using a present value calculation. This is an analysis of your finances that analyzes the effects of your injuries into the future on your ability to earn money. It is usually done by a professional who is hired by your attorney.
In addition to compensating for your economic losses, it is also possible to get non-economic compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the incident. The jury will determine the amount of compensation that is appropriate which varies from case to case. Certain states, however, have caps on these damages, and they've been declared unconstitutional in many cases.
Seven-figure settlements are typically associated with serious permanent injuries or deaths resulting from extreme healthcare negligence. For example, surgical mistakes resulting in amputations, complications during obstetrics that cause infant brain damage and maternal death, and anesthesia errors leading to comas may all warrant high-value settlements. Punitive damages, designed to punish bad behavior, may also be available in certain cases.
Future medical treatment costs - Damages
In medical malpractice cases there are two types of damages a plaintiff can pursue: non-economic and economic damages. The former are based on calculable financial losses, such as future and past medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify and include pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In a medical malpractice lawsuit the jury will have to hear expert testimony in order to assess these kinds of losses.
It is fairly easy to establish past medical expenses by providing actual bills sent to the injured person by their health healthcare providers. For future expenses, the lawyer for the plaintiff will provide medical evidence that proves the type of treatment that is likely to be required in the near future and what the treatment will cost currently. The amount of medical treatment required can also be dependent on the age of the victim at the time of malpractice.
Damages to future wages can be established by demonstrating the impact of the injury on the patient's capacity to work and earning capacity in the future. This can be supported by expert witness testimony or by examining similar cases in the previous.
Pain and suffering is a umbrella word that describes the physical and mental distress and discomfort that patients suffer as a result of medical negligence. This kind of damage is typically based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses and evidence like videotapes, photographs and written reports.
