Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice could cause many losses, including costly medical care along with lost wages, and non-economic damages such as suffering and pain. A licensed New York attorney can help you learn about your rights to compensation.
The first step is to determine if you suffered injuries due to a medical error. You can then file a malpractice suit.
Medical expenses
The most obvious expense in the context of malpractice is that of medical care needed to treat the results of the injuries. This type of damage has a cap that is set by law of the state, which is outlined in the liability insurance policy of a health provider. Some states also create injured patients compensation funds to reduce the perceived costs of litigation and help lower the cost of liability insurance for providers.
Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical expenses in the event of negligence being deemed to be a cause. These are called economic or special damages. They cover the cost of any medical treatments (past and future) required to treat the injury that resulted from the malpractice, as well in any loss of income due to being unable to work because of the injury.
The damages for pain and suffering are also common in medical malpractice claim cases. This type of compensation is subjective and may differ widely between claimants. It includes any physical pain, emotional stress, and other non-physical effects due to the mistake. A plaintiff, for example could be compensated if the doctor made a mistake that led her to not attend an important cancer screening.
In addition, punitive damages can also possible in certain cases. They are meant to penalize a physician for particularly egregious behavior, for example, leaving a sponge in the patient after surgery.
Pain and suffering
The pain and suffering category is a type of non-economic loss in medical malpractice cases. The damages are based on the physical and mental trauma that victims suffered as a result of a medical professional's negligence. The symptoms could be minor like anxiety or discomfort, or they can be severe such as loss of enjoyment in life depression, embarrassment, and fear.
It's difficult to put an amount of money on pain and suffering, so jury instructions generally leave it to jurors to use their personal judgment knowledge, background, and experience in determining what they believe is fair and reasonable. The amounts awarded in malpractice lawsuits vary greatly.
Your medical malpractice settlement lawyer will assist you in proving the severity of your suffering through evidence that is tangible. X-rays, photos, home movies, models, diagrams, and drawings can all help a jury see the severity of your injuries as well as how they impact your daily routine.
If a medical professional's negligence resulted in the death of a patient's family members, the heirs can seek damages through survival statutes or lawsuits. The laws governing wrongful death typically allow the spouse and children to claim the same types of compensation as they would've received had the patient survived. The total amount of damages that a victim may receive is usually limited by the state's limits on pain and suffering. This is why it's so important to find a skilled medical malpractice attorney on your side to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Lost wages
You can recover your lost wages if your absence from work due to medical negligence. This amount includes your base salary, bonuses, commissions and employment benefits. Also, it includes any pay increases or increases in pay. Your attorney will look over your pay stubs from the past to calculate your earnings per hour prior to your injury, and then subtract your missing work to determine your total lost wages. Your attorney can help determine your future loss of income by using a present value calculation. This is a sophisticated financial analysis that analyzes the impact of your injuries on your ability to work in the future, and it's usually done by a specialist employed by your attorney.
In addition to compensating for your economic losses, you may also claim non-economic damages for pain and suffering triggered by the malpractice incident. The jury will determine the amount of compensation that is appropriate that can differ from case to case. Certain states limit these damages. However they have been declared unconstitutional by many courts.
Settlements of seven figures tend to be related to serious permanent injuries or death caused by extreme medical negligence. Settlements with high value may be awarded for among others, surgical errors that cause amputations or brain damage to infants and mothers, as well as anesthesia errors that lead to comas. In certain cases there may be punitive damages available to punish bad behavior.
Damages to future medical treatment
In medical malpractice compensation cases, there are two types of damages that a plaintiff may pursue: Malpractice compensation non-economic and economic damages. The first is based on measurable losses like the future or past medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify and encompass pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In a case of medical negligence the jury will be able to hear expert testimony from experts to assess these types losses.
It is fairly simple to prove past medical expenses by submitting actual bills sent to the person injured by their health medical providers. For future expenses, the attorney for the plaintiff will provide medical evidence to show what treatments are likely to be required in the future and the amount that those treatments cost today. The amount of medical treatment required can be affected by the victim's age at the time of the malpractice.
In order to establish damages for future loss of wages is possible by demonstrating how the injury has affected the patient's future earnings capacity and ability to work. This can be supported by expert testimony or by studying similar cases in the past.
Pain and suffering is a wider category of damages that encompasses the physical and emotional pain and pain that patients suffer because of medical malpractice. This type of damages is typically based on the testimony of the victim and other witnesses and other evidence like photographs, videotapes and written reports.
