Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice could cause numerous losses, which include medical costs, lost wages and non-economic damages such as suffering and pain. A reputable New York attorney can help you learn about your rights to a fair settlement.
The first step is to determine if you suffered injuries as a result of a medical error. Then, you can proceed with a malpractice lawsuit.
Medical expenses
The expense of medical treatment to treat injuries is the most obvious. This type of damage has an amount that is set by law of the state, which is determined in the liability insurance policy of a healthcare provider. Some states have also set up injured patient compensation funds in order to cover the perceived costs of litigation, and also help providers reduce their liability insurance cost.
In addition to medical expenses Victims are also entitled to compensation for any other expenses that are a result of negligence. These are called special or economic damages. They cover the cost of any medical treatments (past and future) which are required to treat the injuries resulting from the negligence, as well in any loss of income due to not being able to work because of the injury.
The damages for suffering and pain are typical in medical malpractice cases. The amount of damages for pain and suffering is a bit different for each claimant and is a subjective matter. This includes emotional distress, physical pain and other non-physical consequences of the error. For instance the plaintiff could be compensated for a mistake made by a doctor that caused her to miss a crucial cancer screening appointment.
In certain cases punitive damages could be awarded. These are intended to punish doctors for particularly indecent actions, like leaving an unclean sponge in the patient's body after surgery.
Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering are a type of non-economic damage in medical malpractice cases. They are a way to compensate for the physical and emotional trauma a victim endured because of the negligent doctor's actions. The symptoms could be mild like anxiety or discomfort, or they may be more serious, like loss of enjoyment in life as well as depression, embarrassment or anxiety.
It's difficult to establish an amount of money on suffering and pain, therefore jury instructions usually leave it up to the jurors to make use of their own judgment as well as their background and experience in determining what they think is fair and reasonable. In the end, the amount that are awarded in malpractice cases differ greatly.
Your medical malpractice lawyer will help you prove the extent of your suffering through evidence that is tangible. X-rays and photos, as well as home models, movies and diagrams can assist jurors in understanding the severity of your injuries.
If negligence by a doctor led to the death of a patient, the survivors can seek compensation through the wrongful-death lawsuit or statutes. Laws governing wrongful deaths allow the spouse and children of the deceased victim to receive the same amount of compensation they would have received had the patient survived. In general, however, the total amount of damages a victim receives is limited by the state's damage caps for suffering and pain. This is why it's crucial to have a skilled medical malpractice lawsuits attorney on your side to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Loss of wages
You can get back your lost wages if you miss work due to medical error. This includes your base pay, bonuses, commissions and benefits from employment, raises in pay and retirement fund contributions. Your lawyer will review your past pay stubs and calculate your average earnings prior to the injury. Then, subtract the missed work from that amount 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 in the future on your ability to earn an income. It's typically performed by a professional who is hired by your attorney.
In addition to compensating for your economic losses, it is also possible to recover non-economic damages to compensate for pain and suffering that was caused by the malpractice incident. The jury will decide the amount of compensation that is appropriate which varies from case to case. Certain states set a maximum amount for these damages. However they have been declared unconstitutional by several courts.
Seven-figure settlements typically involve serious permanent injuries or wrongful deaths resulting from extreme healthcare neglect. Settlements with high value may be awarded for, among other things, surgical errors which cause amputations, or brain injury to infants and mothers as well as anesthesia mistakes that lead to comas. In certain instances, punitive damages may be available to punish bad behavior.
Damages that could be incurred for future medical care
In a medical malpractice lawsuit there are two kinds of damages a plaintiff can pursue: non-economic and economic damages. The first is based on quantifiable losses, such as the future or past medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify and can include the pain and suffering as well as the loss of enjoyment of life. In a medical malpractice lawsuit the jury will have to hear testimony from experts in order to assess the kind of losses.
Past medical expenses are easy to prove with actual invoices from the injured person's health medical providers. The plaintiff's attorney will provide medical evidence to demonstrate what treatments are likely to be required in the future, and how much they will cost in the present. The amount of future medical treatment required can also be affected by the victim's ages at the time of the incident.
Damages to future wages can be proved by proving the impact of the injury on the patient's capacity to work and earning capacity in the future. This can be supported by expert testimony or by examining similar cases in the past.
Pain and suffering is a umbrella term that refers to the mental and physical discomfort and stress that patients experience due to medical negligence. This kind of damage is generally based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses and other evidence such as photographs, videotapes and written reports.
