Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can lead to many losses, including expensive medical expenses, loss of income and damages not based on economics, such as suffering and pain. A qualified New York attorney can help you determine your rights to claim compensation.
First decide if your injuries were caused by an error made by a medical professional. You can then file a malpractice suit.
Medical expenses
The most obvious cost in the context of malpractice is that of medical care needed to treat the injuries that result. It's important to understand that this type of damage is restricted by state law at a specific amount set in a health care provider's liability insurance policy. Some states have also set up injured patient compensation funds to offset the perceived costs of litigation and to help health care providers reduce their liability insurance costs.
Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical costs in the event of negligence being deemed to be a cause. These are known as special or economic damages. They cover the cost of any medical treatments (past and in the future) required to treat the injury that resulted from the malpractice, as well in any loss of income caused by being unable to work because of the injury.
The damages for pain and suffering are also typical in medical malpractice cases. The amount of damages for pain and suffering may differ greatly between claimants and is a subjective matter. It covers any physical pain, emotional stress, and other non-physical effects that result from the mistake. For example the plaintiff could be compensated for a doctor's mistake that caused her to miss an important cancer screening appointment.
In certain cases punitive damages can be granted. These are intended to punish an individual doctor for the most egregious behavior, like leaving an unclean sponge in the patient's body following surgery.
Suffering and pain
Pain and suffering are an example of non-economic loss in medical malpractice cases. The damages are for mental and physical trauma a victim suffered as a result of a doctor's negligence. The symptoms can be minor like discomfort or anxiety or they may be more serious such as a loss of joy in life, depression, embarrassment and fear.
Since it's difficult to place a dollar value on suffering and pain, jury instructions generally leave it to jurors. They can rely on their judgment, background and experience to decide what they believe is fair and reasonable. Therefore, the amount of compensation awarded in malpractice cases vary significantly.
Your medical malpractice lawyer can help you prove the extent of your suffering through demonstrative evidence. Images, Xrays, models, home movies diagrams, and drawings could help a jury understand the extent of your injuries and understand how they impact your daily life.
If a medical professional's negligence resulted in the death of a patient, the heirs may be able to claim damages under survival statutes or lawsuits. In the case of wrongful death, laws generally allow a deceased victim's spouse and children to claim the same compensation as they would've received if the patient had lived. In general, however, the total amount of damages an individual victim receives is restricted by the state's damage caps for suffering and pain. This is why it's crucial to have a skilled medical malpractice attorney on your side to ensure you receive the settlement you deserve.
Lost wages
You can get back your lost wages if you miss work because of medical malpractice. This includes your base salary plus bonuses, commissions, and benefits from employment. Also, it includes any pay increases or increases in pay. Your lawyer will go through your previous pay stubs in order to determine your average earnings prior to the accident. Then, subtract your missed work from that amount to calculate your total lost earnings. Your lawyer can help you determine the loss you will incur in the future income by using a current value calculation. This is an analysis of your finances that analyzes the effects of your injuries in the future on your ability to earn a living. It's usually performed by a professional who is hired by your attorney.
You may also be able to recover economic damages, such as the pain and suffering caused by the error. The jury will decide the appropriate compensation amount for these damages, and it could vary widely from case situation. However, some states have caps on these damages, and lawsuits have been declared unconstitutional in many cases.
Seven-figure settlements usually involve serious permanent injuries or deaths caused by extreme healthcare neglect. For example, surgical mistakes that result in amputations, complications during obstetrics that cause the brain of a baby and death, as well as anesthesia errors that cause comas could all be the reason for high-value settlements. Punitive damages, which are specifically designed to punish bad conduct can also be awarded in certain situations.
Damages to future medical treatment
In the case of medical malpractice there are two kinds of damages that a plaintiff may pursue: non-economic and economic damages. The former are based upon calculable financial losses, like future and past medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify and include pain and suffering, as well as loss of enjoyment of life. In a case of medical negligence the jury is required to examine expert testimony to determine these kinds of losses.
Past medical expenses are easy to prove with actual bills from the person who was injured's health medical providers. For future costs, the lawyer representing the plaintiff will submit medical evidence that shows the type of treatment that is likely to be required in the future and how much the treatments cost today. The amount of future medical treatment required may be affected by the victim's ages at the time of malpractice.
The damages for lost wages in the future can be proven through proving the impact of the injury on a patient's capacity to work and earning capacity in the future. This can be supported by expert testimony from a witness or by looking at similar cases in the past.
Pain and suffering is a broad category of damages that encompasses the physical and psychological discomfort and stress that suffers a patient because of medical malpractice. This kind of damage is typically based on the testimony of witnesses and victims and evidence such as photos of videotapes and written reports.
