Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can lead to many losses, such as expensive medical bills, lost income, and other damages that are not economic like pain and suffering. A reputable New York attorney can help you learn about your rights to a fair settlement.

This type of damages comes with a cap that is set by law of the state, which is determined in the liability insurance policy of a medical professional. Certain states also have established injured patient compensation funds in order to cover the perceived costs of litigation, and also help providers reduce their liability insurance premiums.
Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical expenses in the event that negligence is found to be the cause. These are known as economic or special damages. They include the cost of any medical treatments (past and future) required to address the injury resulting from the malpractice lawsuits, as well the loss of income due to being unable to work because of the injury.
The damages for suffering and pain are common in medical malpractice cases. This type of damage can differ widely among claimants and is considered to be subjective. It covers any physical or emotional pain and other physical consequences caused by the mistake. For instance, a plaintiff could be compensated for the error of a doctor which caused her to miss a crucial cancer screening appointment.
In some instances, punitive damages may also be granted. These are meant to punish the doctor for egregious actions, like leaving a dirty sponge inside the patient's body following surgery.
Pain and suffering
The pain and suffering category is an example of non-economic loss in medical malpractice cases. They cover the emotional and physical trauma that a victim suffered as a result of the medical professional's negligence. The symptoms may be minor such as discomfort or anxiety or they may be more serious such as loss of enjoyment in life, depression, embarrassment and fear.

For example, surgical mistakes that result in amputations, complications during obstetrics that cause the brain of an infant and death, and anesthesia errors causing comas might all command high-value settlements. In certain circumstances punitive damages could be available to punish the bad behavior.
Damages to future medical treatment
In a case of medical negligence the plaintiff can seek economic or non-economic damages. The former are based on calculable financial losses such as future and past medical expenses. The latter is more difficult to quantify and covers pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In a case of medical malpractice, the jury will need to hear expert testimony in order to judge the kind of losses.

For future expenses, the plaintiff's lawyer will provide medical evidence that shows the kind of treatment likely to be required in the future and how much those treatments cost at present. The amount of future medical care needed can also be influenced by the victim's age at the time of the malpractice.
