Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can cause numerous losses, such as expensive medical expenses, loss of income and damages not based on economics, such as pain and suffering. A reputable New York attorney can help you know your rights to claim compensation.
First, determine if your injuries resulted from a medical mistake. Then you can pursue a malpractice lawsuit.
Medical expenses
The expense of medical treatment to treat injuries is the most obvious. It is important to know that this category of damages is restricted by state law at a specific amount set in a health care provider's liability insurance policy. Some states also set up injured patient compensation funds to offset the perceived cost of litigation and to help drive down liability premiums for health care providers.
In addition to medical expenses The victims also have the right to compensation for any other expenses related to the negligence. These are referred to as economic or special damages. They include the costs of any medical procedures (past and in the future) which are required to treat the injuries resulting from the malpractice, as as any lost income due to being unable to work because of the injury.
In medical malpractice cases, pain and suffering damages are also common. This type of compensation is a subjective one and can vary widely between claimants. It includes any emotional or physical discomfort, and other non-physical effects that result from the malpractice. A plaintiff, for example could be compensated if the doctor made a mistake which caused her to not attend a crucial cancer screening.
In certain cases punitive damages could be granted. These are intended to punish an individual doctor for the most egregious behavior, such as leaving an unclean sponge in the patient's body following surgery.
Pain and suffering
In medical malpractice cases, pain and suffering is a form of non-economic damages. They cover the emotional and physical trauma that a victim suffered due to the negligence of the doctor. The symptoms can be minor such as anxiety or discomfort or even more severe issues, like loss of pleasure in life or depression, embarrassment or anxiety, and sleep issues.
It's not easy to put an amount of money on the suffering and suffering of others, which is why jury instructions typically leave the decision to jurors to use their personal judgment of their background, experience, and knowledge in determining what they believe is fair and reasonable. The amounts awarded in malpractice cases vary widely.
Your medical malpractice attorney can assist you in proving the severity of your suffering by using evidence that is tangible. Photos and X-rays, along with home videos, diagrams and models will help jurors understand the severity of your injuries.
If negligence by a doctor led to the death of a victim, heirs can recover damages via the wrongful death lawsuit or through survival statutes. The law governing wrongful death allows the spouse and children of a victim killed to receive the same compensation they would have received had the patient survived. In general, however, the amount a victim receives is limited by a state's damages caps for pain and suffering. This is why it's important to have a seasoned medical malpractice attorney on your side to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Loss of wages
You can recover your lost wages if you are unable to work due to medical negligence. This includes your base pay commissions, bonuses and benefits from employment, pay raises, and retirement fund contributions. Your lawyer will review your past pay stubs to calculate your average earnings prior to the accident. Then, subtract your lost work from that figure to arrive at total lost wages. Your lawyer can also assist you in determining the future loss of earnings using a present value calculation. This is a sophisticated analysis of financials that considers the impact of your injuries on your capacity to work in the future, and it's typically performed by a professional employed by your attorney.
You may also be able to recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering, caused by the malpractice. The jury will determine the appropriate compensation amount that can differ from case to case. However, certain states have a cap on these damages, and they've been declared unconstitutional in a number of cases.
Settlements of seven figures tend to be associated with serious permanent injuries or death caused by extreme medical negligence. For instance, surgical errors which result in amputations or birth defects that result in infant brain damage and deaths, and anesthesia errors leading to comas may all warrant high-value settlements. In certain situations punitive damages could be available to punish the bad behavior.
Damages for future medical treatments
In a medical malpractice lawsuit there are two types of damages a plaintiff can seek: economic and non-economic damages. The former are based on calculable financial losses, including future and past medical expenses. The latter is more difficult to quantify, which includes suffering as well as loss of enjoyment. In a medical malpractice lawsuit the jury will have to hear testimony from experts in order to judge these kinds of losses.
Past medical expenses are relatively easy to prove with actual bills from the person who was injured's health care providers. For future expenses, the plaintiff's lawyer will present medical evidence to show the kind of treatment likely to be required in the near future and how much the treatments cost at present. The amount of future medical treatments required could be dependent on the age of the victim at the time of malpractice.
The court can award damages for future lost wages is possible by demonstrating how the injury affected the patient's earning capacity and ability to work. This can be proved by expert testimony from a witness or by looking at similar cases in the preceding.
Pain and suffering is a broad term that encompasses the physical and mental discomfort and distress that patients suffer due to medical negligence. This kind of damage is typically based on the testimony of the victim and other witnesses and other evidence like photos, videos and written reports.
