Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York

Medical malpractice can lead to many expenses, including costly medical bills, lost income and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. A New York attorney who is experienced can help you understand your rights to compensation that you are entitled to.

Medical expenses

The most obvious cost associated with malpractice is that of medical care required to treat the results of the injuries. This type of damages comes with the limitation set by law of the state that is established in the liability insurance policy of a health care provider. Certain states have also created injured patient compensation funds in order to offset the perceived costs of litigation, and also help providers lower their liability insurance costs.

Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical costs if the negligence is deemed to be a factor. These are called special or economic damages. They include the cost of medical treatments (past or future) needed to treat the injury caused by the malpractice and any income loss due to being unable to work.

Damages for suffering and pain are common in medical malpractice law firm cases. The amount of damages for pain and suffering can vary widely between claimants and is subjective. It includes any emotional or physical discomfort and other physical consequences caused by the error. A plaintiff, for example may be able to claim compensation if the doctor's error that caused her not to attend a crucial cancer screening.

Finally, punitive damages are also possible in certain instances. They are meant to penalize the doctor for particularly indecent conduct, such as leaving a sponge in the patient following surgery.

Suffering and pain

Pain and suffering are an example of non-economic damages that are incurred in medical malpractice cases. They are a way to compensate for the emotional and physical trauma that a victim suffered as a result of a medical professional's negligence. The symptoms may be minor, like discomfort or anxiety or severe symptoms, such as loss of pleasure in life or depression, embarrassment or anxiety, and sleep issues.

It's difficult to put a dollar amount on suffering and pain, so jury instructions usually leave the decision to jurors to make use of their own judgment knowledge, background, and experience in determining what they think is reasonable and fair. The amounts awarded in malpractice lawyers cases vary widely.

Your medical malpractice lawyer can help you demonstrate the extent of your suffering through evidence that is tangible. Photos and X-rays, along with home movies, models and diagrams can help a juror understand the severity of your injuries.

If a negligent doctor caused the death of a patient, the beneficiaries can collect damages through the wrongful death lawsuit or through survival statutes. In the case of wrongful death, laws generally permit the spouse of a deceased victim and children to claim the same type of compensation as they would've received if the patient had survived. The total amount of damages that a victim is entitled to is usually limited by the state's limits on suffering and pain. It is important to find a skilled medical malpractice lawyer on your side in order to get the compensation you're entitled to.

Lost wages

If you miss work because of medical malpractice, you can recover lost wages. This includes your base salary, bonuses, commissions and benefits from employment. Also, it includes any pay increases or pay increases. Your attorney will review your pay stubs for the previous year to calculate your average earnings before the injury, and then subtract out your lost work to calculate your total lost wages. Your lawyer can also help you determine the future loss of earnings using a present value calculation. This is an analysis of your finances that analyzes the consequences of your injuries in the future on your ability to earn money. It is usually done by a professional hired by your attorney.

In addition, to compensating your economic losses, you may also seek non-economic damages to compensate for the pain and suffering caused by the incident. The jury will decide on the appropriate compensation amount for these damages, and it could vary widely from case case. Certain states, however, have a cap on the amount of damages they can claim, and they've been declared illegal in a variety of cases.

Settlements of seven figures are typically related to serious permanent injuries or wrongful death caused by extreme healthcare negligence. Settlements with high value may be awarded for, among other things, surgical errors which cause amputations, or brain damage to infants or mothers as well as anesthesia errors that can cause comas. In certain cases the punitive damages might be used to punish bad conduct.

Damages for future medical treatments

In a case of medical negligence, a plaintiff may seek economic or non-economic damages. The first is based on quantifiable losses, like the past or future medical costs. The latter is more difficult to quantify, and includes suffering and pain as well as loss of enjoyment. In a lawsuit involving medical malpractice the jury will have to hear testimony from experts in order to judge these types of losses.

Past medical expenses are relatively easy to prove by providing actual invoices from the injured person's health medical providers. The attorney for the plaintiff will submit medical evidence to prove what procedures are likely be required in the near future, and how much they cost now. The amount of future medical care required could be influenced by the age of the victim at the time of the incident.

Damages to future wages can be established by showing the impact of the injury on a patient's ability to work and earn in the future. This can be supported by expert testimony or reviewing similar cases from the past.

Pain and suffering is a wider class of damages that encompasses the physical and emotional pain and stress that patients suffer because of medical malpractice. This type of damages is typically based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses, as well as evidence like photos, videos and written reports.
