Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can result in a number of losses including costly medical care, lost wages and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. 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 sustained injuries because of a medical mistake. Then you can file a malpractice law firm lawsuit.
Medical expenses
The most obvious cost associated with malpractice is that of medical treatment required to treat the injuries that result. It's important to understand that this category of damages is restricted by state law at a level established in a health care provider's liability insurance policy. Certain states also have established injured patient compensation funds to help offset the costs of litigation and help providers lower their liability insurance cost.
In addition to medical expenses, victims are entitled to compensation for other expenses related to the negligence. These are known as special or economic damages. These include the cost of medical treatment (past or in the future) required to treat the injury caused by the malpractice law firms as well as any income loss resulting from being in a position of being unable to work.
Damages for pain and suffering are also common in medical malpractice cases. This category of damages can differ widely among claimants and is considered to be subjective. It covers any emotional or physical discomfort and other physical consequences that result from the malpractice. For example the plaintiff could be paid for a mistake by a doctor which caused her to miss a crucial cancer screening appointment.
In addition, punitive damages are also a possibility in certain situations. They are intended to penalize the doctor for egregious behavior, like leaving a dirty sponge in the patient's body following surgery.
Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering are a type of non-economic damages that are incurred in medical malpractice cases. The damages are for physical and mental trauma that a victim suffered as a result of a negligence of a doctor. The symptoms may be minor such as anxiety or discomfort, or major issues, like the loss of enjoyment and depression, embarrassment, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
Since it's difficult to put a value on the amount of suffering and pain, jury instructions generally leave it to the jurors. They can rely on their judgment, background and experience to determine what they believe is fair and reasonable. As a result, the amount of compensation awarded in malpractice cases vary in a wide range.
Your medical malpractice attorney can help you prove the severity of your suffering by using evidence that is tangible. Images and Xrays, as well as home videos, diagrams and models can aid jurors in understanding the extent of your injuries.
If a negligent doctor caused the death of a victim, heirs can recover damages via wrongful death lawsuits or 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 survived. Typically, however, the amount an individual victim receives is restricted by the state's damage limits for pain and suffering. This is why it's crucial to have a skilled medical malpractice lawyer on your side to ensure you receive the justice you deserve.
Lost wages
If you miss work due to medical error you may be able to recover your lost wages. This includes your base pay commissions, bonuses and employment benefits, as well as pay increases, and retirement fund contributions. Your attorney will examine your past pay stubs to calculate your earnings per hour prior to your injury, and then subtract out your absence from work to calculate the total loss of earnings. Your attorney can also help you determine the future loss of earnings using a present 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's typically performed by a professional who is hired by your attorney.
There is also the possibility of recovering non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering due to the negligence. The jury will determine the appropriate amount of compensation which may differ from case to case. Some states have a limit on these damages. However they have been deemed unconstitutional by many courts.
Settlements of seven figures are generally associated with serious permanent injuries or wrongful death resulting from extreme healthcare negligence. For instance, surgical errors which result in amputations or obstetric errors leading to the brain of a baby and death, and anesthesia mistakes causing comas might all command high-value settlements. In certain situations there may be punitive damages offered to punish bad behavior.
Damages for future medical care
In medical malpractice cases, there are two types of damages that a plaintiff may pursue: non-economic and economic damages. The first is based upon calculable losses, such as the past or future medical costs. The latter is more difficult to quantify and includes suffering and pain and loss of enjoyment. In a case of medical negligence the jury will listen to expert testimony in order to evaluate these types losses.
Past medical expenses are relatively easy to prove with actual bills from the injured person's health healthcare providers. The lawyer representing the plaintiff will provide medical evidence to demonstrate the types of treatments that are likely to be required in the near future, and how much they cost today. The amount of medical treatment required may be affected by the victim's ages at the time of malpractice.
The court can award damages for future lost wages is attainable by demonstrating how the injury affected the patient's earning capacity and ability to work. This can be proven by expert testimony from a witness or by examining similar cases in the previous.
Pain and suffering is a umbrella word that describes the mental and physical discomfort and stress which patients suffer because of medical negligence. The type of damages are generally based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses and other evidence such as photographs, videotapes and written reports.
