Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York

Medical malpractice can result in a variety of expenses, including costly medical treatment, lost income and damages not based on economics, such as pain and suffering. A reputable New York attorney can help you determine your rights to be compensated.

The first step is to determine if you have suffered injuries because of a medical mistake. Then you can file a malpractice lawsuit.

Medical expenses

The most obvious cost associated with malpractice is that of medical care required to treat the results of the injuries. It is important to know that this category of damages is limited by state law at a limit set by the health care provider's liability insurance policy. Some states have also set up injured patient compensation funds to reduce the perceived cost of litigation, and also help providers lower their liability insurance costs.

In addition to medical expenses Victims are also entitled to compensation for other costs that are a result of negligence. These are referred to as special or economic damages. They cover the costs of any medical treatment (past and in the future) that are required to address the injury resulting from the malpractice lawsuits, as well being any lost earnings due to not being able to work due to the injury.

The damages for suffering and pain are typical in medical malpractice cases. This category of damages is a subjective one and can vary greatly between different plaintiffs. It includes any emotional or physical discomfort as well as other physical effects caused by the error. For instance, a plaintiff may be able to claim compensation if a doctor made a mistake which caused her to not attend a vital cancer screening.

In certain cases punitive damages can be awarded. These are meant to punish doctors for particularly indecent behaviour, such as leaving a dirty sponge inside the body of a patient after surgery.

Suffering and pain

In medical malpractice cases it is a matter of pain and suffering. It is one of the types of non-economic damages. They cover the emotional and physical trauma suffered by a victim because of the medical professional's negligence. The symptoms could be minor like discomfort or anxiety or they could be more severe such as loss of enjoyment in life, depression, embarrassment and anxiety.

It is difficult to assign a dollar value on pain and suffering the jury instructions typically leave it up to jurors. They can rely on their judgment, background and experience to decide what they believe to be fair and reasonable. The amounts that are awarded in malpractice suits vary widely.

Your medical malpractice attorney can assist you in proving the severity of your suffering by using evidence that is tangible. Images and Xrays, as well as home movies, models and diagrams can assist jurors in understanding the extent of your injuries.

If a doctor's malpractice resulted in the death of a patient, heirs may be able to claim damages under survival statutes or wrongful deaths lawsuits. The laws governing wrongful death typically permit the spouse of a deceased victim and children to claim the same amount of compensation that they would have received had the patient survived. The total amount of damages the victim can collect is typically limited by the state's caps on pain and suffering. It is important to have a seasoned medical malpractice lawyer by your side in order to get the compensation you deserve.

Lost wages

You can recover your lost wages in the event that you miss work because of medical malpractice. This amount includes your base pay bonus, commissions and employment benefits, as well as pay increases, and retirement fund contributions. Your attorney will look over your past pay stubs and determine your average earnings prior the accident. Then, subtract the absence from that number to calculate the total loss of 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 effects of your injuries into the future on your ability to earn an income. It is usually done by a specialist hired through your attorney.

There is also the possibility of recovering non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering caused by the error. The jury will decide the amount of compensation that is appropriate, which can vary from case to case. Some states cap these damages. However they have been deemed inconstitutional by numerous courts.

Seven-figure settlements typically involve serious permanent injuries or deaths associated with extreme healthcare neglect. For instance, surgical errors which result in amputations or complications during obstetrics that cause the brain of a baby and deaths, and anesthesia errors causing comas might all command high-value settlements. In certain circumstances punitive damages could be used to punish bad conduct.

Damages for future medical treatment

In a medical malpractice lawsuit there are two types of damages a plaintiff can pursue: non-economic and economic damages. The former are based upon calculable financial losses, like future and past medical expenses. The latter is more difficult to quantify and includes pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment. In a medical malpractice lawsuit, the jury will need to hear expert testimony to evaluate these kinds of losses.

Past medical expenses are easy to prove by providing actual invoices from the injured person's health medical providers. For future expenses, the attorney for the plaintiff will present medical evidence that demonstrates what treatments are likely to be required in the near future and the amount that those treatments cost today. The amount of future medical treatment required may be affected by the victim's age at the time of the malpractice.

Proving damages for future lost earnings is possible if you can show how the injury has affected the patient's future earnings capacity and ability to work. This can be proven by expert witness testimony or by looking at similar cases in the previous.

Pain and suffering is a broad category of damages that includes the physical and emotional discomfort and suffering suffers a patient due to medical malpractice. This kind of injury is usually based on the testimony of the victim and witnesses, as well evidence such as photos, videotapes, and written reports.
