Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can result in many losses, including medical bills that are expensive as well as lost wages and other non-economic damages, such as suffering and pain. A New York attorney who is competent can assist you in understanding the rights to compensation that you are entitled to.
The first step is to determine whether you suffered injuries because of a medical mistake. Then you can proceed with an action for malpractice.
Medical expenses
The cost of medical care to treat injuries is the most obvious. It's important to understand that this type of damage is limited by state law at a limit set by the liability of a health provider's insurance policy. Some states also set up injured patients compensation funds to reduce the cost of litigation, and also to help drive down liability premiums for health care providers.
Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical costs in the event of negligence being deemed to be a factor. These are known as special or economic damages. They include the cost of medical treatment (past or future) required to treat an injury caused by the malpractice and also any loss of income due to being unable to work.
In medical malpractice cases, pain and suffering damages are also typical. This type of damage may differ greatly between claimants and is considered to be subjective. It covers any physical pain, emotional stress, and other non-physical effects associated with the mistake. For example the plaintiff could be paid for a mistake by a doctor which caused her to miss an important cancer screening appointment.
In certain cases punitive damages can be awarded. They are designed to punish doctors for particularly unprofessional actions, such as leaving a sponge in the patient following surgery.
Suffering and pain
The pain and suffering category is an example of non-economic damage in medical malpractice law firm cases. The compensation is for the physical and mental trauma that victims suffered as a result of a medical professional's negligence. The symptoms may be minor such as anxiety or discomfort, or major issues, like loss of pleasure in life, depression, embarrassment, anxiety, and sleep issues.
Since it's difficult to put the value of suffering and pain, the jury instructions generally leave it to jurors. They can rely on their own judgement, background and experience to determine what they believe is fair and reasonable. In the end, the amount awarded in malpractice cases vary widely.
Your medical malpractice lawyer can help you prove the extent of your pain using evidence that can be used to prove your case. Photographs, X-rays and X-rays as well as models, home movies diagrams and drawings can assist jurors in determining the severity of your injuries and how they affected your daily routine.
If a physician's mistake 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 permit the spouse and children to collect the same types of compensation as they would've received if the patient was alive. Generally, however, the amount an individual victim receives is restricted by the state's damage limits for pain and suffering. It is essential to have a knowledgeable medical malpractice lawyer by your side to ensure you receive the compensation that you deserve.
Loss of wages
You can recover your lost wages if your absence from work due to medical error. This amount includes your base pay as well as commissions, bonuses and benefits from employment, raises in pay, and retirement fund contributions. Your lawyer will go through your previous pay stubs in order to determine your average earnings prior to the accident. Then, subtract the missing work from the amount to determine your total lost wages. Your attorney can also help you determine your future loss of earnings using a present value calculation. This is an analysis of financials that analyzes the impact of your injuries in the future on your ability to earn an income. It's typically performed by a specialist hired through your attorney.
In addition to compensating for your economic losses, it is also possible to get non-economic compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the incident. The jury will determine the appropriate amount of compensation, which can vary from case to case. However, certain states have caps on these damages, and they've been struck down as unconstitutional in several cases.
Settlements of seven figures are usually associated with serious permanent injuries or death caused by extreme medical neglect. For example, surgical mistakes which result in amputations or birth defects that result in the brain of a baby and death, as well as anesthesia errors causing comas might all command high-value settlements. In certain circumstances punitive damages could be available to punish bad behavior.
Damages to future medical treatment
In the case of medical malpractice lawsuit there are two kinds of damages a plaintiff could seek: economic and non-economic damages. The first is based upon calculable losses, like past or future medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify and encompass pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In a medical negligence case the jury will examine expert testimony to determine these types losses.
It is fairly simple to prove the cost of medical treatment in the past by submitting actual bills sent to the person who was injured by their health care providers. For future expenses, the lawyer for the plaintiff will provide medical evidence to show what treatment is likely to be required in the near future and how much the treatments cost at present. The amount of medical treatment needed can be affected by the victim's ages at the time of malpractice.
The ability to prove damages for future lost wages is possible by demonstrating how the injury affected the patient's future earnings capacity and ability to work. This can be proved by expert testimony from a witness or by examining similar cases in the previous.
Pain and suffering is a larger category of damages that encompasses the physical and emotional pain and pain that a patient suffers due to medical negligence. The type of damages are usually based on the testimony of the victim and other witnesses and other evidence like photos, videos and written reports.
