Victims can claim compensation in addition to medical costs in the event of negligence being deemed to be a contributing factor. These are known as special or economic damages. They include the cost of medical treatments (past or future) required to treat the injury caused by the negligence as well as any income loss due to being in a position of being unable to work.

In medical malpractice cases, pain and damages are also typical. This category of damages can vary widely between claimants and is considered to be subjective.

The amount that a victim is entitled to is usually restricted by the state's caps on suffering and pain. This is why it's so important to find a skilled medical malpractice lawyer on your side to fight for the compensation you deserve.

In a medical malpractice case, there are two types of damages a plaintiff can pursue: non-economic and economic damages. The first is based upon calculable losses, such as the past or future medical costs. The latter are more difficult to quantify and include the pain and suffering as well as the loss of enjoyment of life. In a case of medical negligence the jury has to listen to expert testimony in order to evaluate the losses of these kinds.

Past medical expenses are relatively simple to prove through the submission of actual bills from the victim's health medical providers. The lawyer representing the plaintiff will provide medical evidence to prove the types of treatments that are likely to be required in the future, and what they will cost in the present. The amount of future medical treatment required may be affected by the age of the victim at the time of malpractice.

Proving damages for future lost earnings is possible if you can show how the injury has affected the patient's ability to earn and ability to work. This can be supported by expert testimony or by studying similar cases in the past.

Pain and suffering is a broader category of damages that includes the physical and emotional pain and pain that suffers patients due to medical malpractice. This kind of claim is generally based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses, as well as evidence such as photographs, videotapes and written reports.
