Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can cause numerous expenses, including costly medical bills, lost income and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. A New York attorney who is qualified can help you understand the compensation rights that you have.
First check if the injuries were caused by a medical error. You can then bring a malpractice lawsuit.
Medical expenses
The expense of medical treatment to treat injuries is the most obvious. This type of damage has the limitation that is set by law of the state, that is established in the liability insurance policy of a healthcare provider. Some states also establish injured patient compensation funds to offset the perceived cost of litigation, and also to help drive down liability premiums for providers.
Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical expenses in the event that negligence is found to be a factor. These are known as economic or special damages. They cover the costs of any medical procedures (past and in the future) that are required to address the injury resulting from the malpractice, as in any loss of income because of being unable to work because of the injury.
Damages for pain and suffering are also common in medical malpractice cases. The amount of damages for pain and suffering may differ greatly between claimants and is a subjective one. It covers any physical or emotional pain and other physical consequences that result from the error. For instance, a plaintiff could be compensated if the doctor's error that led her to not attend a vital cancer screening.
In addition, punitive damages can also possible in certain instances. These are designed to punish doctors for particularly indecent behavior, like leaving a dirty sponge inside the body of a patient after surgery.
Pain and suffering
In medical malpractice cases there is pain and suffering as one of the types of non-economic damages. They are a way to compensate for the emotional and physical trauma that a victim suffered due to the negligence of the doctor. The symptoms could be mild such as pain or anxiety or they can be major like a loss of pleasure in life or depression, embarrassment, or fear.
Since it's difficult to place a value on the amount of suffering and pain, the jury instructions typically leave it up to jurors. They are able to use their judgment, background and experience to determine what they consider fair and reasonable. The amount of compensation awarded in malpractice lawsuits can vary.
A medical malpractice lawyer can help you prove your case with evidence. X-rays and photos, as well as home videos, diagrams and models will help jurors understand the severity of your injuries.
If a negligent doctor caused the death of a victim heirs can recover damages via wrongful death lawsuits or survival statutes. In the case of wrongful death, laws generally allow the spouse and children to receive the same amount of compensation they would have received if the patient had lived. The total amount of damages that a victim may receive is typically limited by the state's limits on suffering and pain. This is why it's so crucial to have a skilled medical malpractice attorney on your side to fight for the justice you deserve.
Lost wages
You are able to recover your lost wages if your absence from work due to medical error. This amount includes your base pay commissions, bonuses as well as benefits for employees, raises in pay and retirement fund contributions. Your attorney will review past pay stubs and calculate your income before the accident. Then, subtract your missing work from the amount to calculate the total loss of earnings. Your attorney can also help you determine the future loss of earnings by using a present value calculation. This is a complicated analysis of financials that considers the impact of your injuries on your capacity to work in the future, and it's typically performed by a professional hired by your attorney.
You may also be able to recover economic damages, such as suffering and pain due to the negligence. The jury will decide the appropriate amount of compensation, which can vary from case to case. Certain states limit these damages. However they have been ruled inconstitutional by a number of courts.
Seven-figure settlements are typically associated with serious permanent injuries or wrongful deaths resulting from extreme healthcare negligence. For instance, surgical errors leading to amputations, birth defects that result in infant brain damage and death, as well as anesthesia errors leading to comas may all warrant high-value settlements. In certain situations there may be punitive damages used to punish bad conduct.
Future medical treatment and damages
In a medical malpractice case there are two kinds of damages a plaintiff can pursue: non-economic and 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 case of medical malpractice, the jury will need to hear expert testimony in order to assess these types of losses.
It is fairly simple to prove medical expenses from the past by submitting actual bills sent to the injured person by their health care providers. For future expenses, the lawyer for the plaintiff will present medical evidence that proves what treatment is likely to be required in the future and how much the treatments cost currently. The amount of medical treatments required could be dependent on the age of the victim when they were injured.
Damages to future wages can be proved by proving the impact of the injury on a patient's capacity to work and earn in the future. This can be proved by expert testimony from a witness or by examining similar cases in the previous.
Pain and suffering is a broad term that refers to the mental and physical distress and discomfort that patients suffer due to medical malpractice. This type of damages is usually based on the testimony of the victim and other witnesses and other evidence such as videotapes, photographs and written reports.
