Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can lead to numerous damages, including high-cost medical expenses, loss of income, and other damages that are not economic like suffering and pain. A qualified New York attorney can help you determine your rights to compensation.
The first step is to determine if you suffered injuries as a result of medical error. You can then start a lawsuit for malpractice.
Medical expenses
The cost of medical care to treat injuries is the most obvious. This category of damages has a cap that is set by law of the state, which is set in the liability insurance policy of a healthcare provider. Certain states also have injured patient compensation funds to offset the cost of litigation, and also to help lower the cost of liability insurance for providers.
Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical costs in the event that negligence is found to be a cause. These are known as special or economic damages. They include the cost of any medical treatments (past and future) required to treat the injuries resulting from the negligence, as well as any lost income because of being unable to work because of the injury.
The damages for pain and suffering are also typical in medical malpractice cases. This category of damages is a subjective one and can vary greatly between different claimants. This includes physical pain, emotional distress and other non-physical effects of the mistake. For instance, a plaintiff may be able to claim compensation if the doctor's error that caused her not to attend a vital cancer screening.
In addition, punitive damages are also possible in certain cases. These are meant to punish the doctor for particularly indecent behavior, for example, leaving a sponge in a patient after surgery.
Pain and suffering
The pain and suffering category is an example of non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases. The damages are for mental and physical trauma a victim suffered because of the negligence of the doctor. The symptoms can be minor such as anxiety or discomfort, or major, such as loss of enjoyment of life, depression, embarrassment, insomnia, and fear.
It's difficult to put a dollar amount on pain and suffering, so jury instructions usually leave the decision to jurors to use their own judgment, background, and experience in determining what they think is reasonable and fair. This is why the amounts given in malpractice cases can vary greatly.
Your medical malpractice attorney can help you prove the severity of your suffering by using evidence that is tangible. Images and Xrays, along with home models, movies and diagrams can aid jurors in understanding the extent of your injuries.
If a doctor's malpractice caused the death of a patient, the heirs may recover damages through survival statutes or lawsuits. The laws governing wrongful death typically allow a deceased victim's spouse and children to collect the same types of compensation as they would've received had the patient survived. Typically, however, the amount that a victim is able to collect is limited by the state's damage caps for suffering and pain. This is why it's important to have a seasoned medical malpractice attorney on your side to ensure you receive the amount of compensation you're entitled to.
Loss of wages
If you have to miss work due to medical negligence, you can recover lost wages. This includes your base pay commissions, bonuses and employment benefits, as well as raises in pay and retirement fund contributions. Your lawyer will review your past pay stubs and calculate your average earnings prior the accident. Then, subtract your missing work from the amount to arrive at total lost wages. Your lawyer can help you calculate your future loss of income using a current value calculation. This is an analysis of financials that analyzes the effects of your injuries into the future on your ability to earn money. It's usually performed by a professional hired by your attorney.
In addition to compensating for your economic losses, you may also seek non-economic damages to compensate for the pain and suffering caused by the malpractice incident. The jury will determine the appropriate amount of compensation for these damages, and it could differ from case to case. However, some states have a cap on the amount of damages they can claim, and they've been struck down as unconstitutional in several cases.
Seven-figure settlements typically involve serious permanent injuries or deaths caused by extreme healthcare neglect. Settlements with high values can be granted for among other things, surgical blunders which cause amputations, or brain damage to infants or mothers as well as anesthesia errors that lead to comas. In certain cases there may be punitive damages available to punish bad behavior.
Damages for future medical care
In medical malpractice cases, there are two types of damages that a plaintiff may seek: economic and non-economic damages. The first is based on quantifiable financial losses such as past and future medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify and include the pain and suffering as well as the loss of enjoyment of life. In a medical malpractice case, the jury will need to hear expert testimony to determine these kinds of losses.
It is relatively easy to establish past medical expenses by sending actual bills sent to the person who was injured by their health medical professionals. The attorney for the plaintiff will submit medical evidence to demonstrate what procedures are likely be required in the future, and what they will cost in the present. The amount of medical treatments required could be affected by the victim's age at the time of the incident.
Damages for future lost wages can be proven through showing the impact of the injury on a patient's capacity to work and earning capacity in the future. This can be proved by expert witness testimony or by looking at similar cases in the past.
Pain and suffering is a broad class of damages that encompasses the physical and emotional discomfort and distress that suffers a patient from medical malpractice. This kind of damage is typically based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses, as well as evidence such as photos, videos and written reports.
