Medical Malpractice Settlements
Receiving full compensation following medical malpractice isn't easy. The victims of malpractice must negotiate with the doctor accused and their insurance company who are legally known as defendants.
Victims are entitled to compensation for their losses however, how do juries and judges calculate the value of a case? This article will explore the most important factors to consider when settling a malpractice case.
Damages
In general, a malpractice settlement is composed of two distinct types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are based on calculable losses, which include medical bills and future care costs. Non-economic damages are based on a claimant's pain and malpractice suffering as well as disfigurement, loss enjoyment of life, and many more.
When negotiating a medical malpractice settlement with your attorney, you will work with economists as well as other financial experts to determine the value of your losses. For instance, if you have been permanently disabled from negligence by a doctor then the value of your future lost income must be calculated in addition. This is referred to as present value and is a complex calculation that your lawyer will hire an expert to help with.
This is why it is important to have an expert medical malpractice lawyer to represent you. You could be entitled thousands or even millions of dollars in compensation based on the severity and extent of your injuries.
Many kinds of medical malpractice are covered by a high settlement amount such as missed diagnosis and prenatal errors that cause maternal distress, and minor surgical mistakes. However, some malpractice cases have lower settlements. This could be due to reactions to allergies that were cured by medication or a minor mistake in surgery where the damage wasn't significant. These injuries are less likely to lead to an extended disability and do not merit the same amount of compensation as a more serious injury that will require ongoing treatment.
Costs of litigation
Like any malpractice case there are many factors that determine the value of a settlement for medical malpractice. Economic damages refer to the cost of future and past costs incurred as a result of the malpractice incident. Non-economic damages are also included.
The first is the cost of the medical bills you've incurred, the anticipated costs of future medical treatment and any loss of earnings resulting from the absence from work because of your injury. The latter refers to compensation for the pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life you've experienced due to the negligence that led to your injury. Non-economic damages are based on the severity of the injury. This is determined using a severity multiplier (also known as a multiplier), which can range between two and five.
It might appear that doctors are being dragged to court by frivolous lawsuits however, the reality is that malpractice lawsuits only account for 0.3 percent of healthcare costs. They are essential to ensure patients receive the medical care they require. The majority of medical malpractice cases are settled out of court by negotiating a fair settlement in monetary terms.
In addition to the state laws that define the minimum value of a medical negligence case, the location in which your claim is filed will impact the value of your case. Jurors in Baltimore City, Prince George's County and Montgomery County, for malpractice example, are more favorable to victims of medical negligence.
Attorney's Fees
In the majority of medical malpractice lawsuits your lawyer will be paid on an hourly basis. This means that your lawyer won't be paid until they obtain a settlement or a verdict for you, whether through negotiation or trial. This is a great option for obtaining top-quality legal representation without the upfront costs associated with hiring an attorney.
If a lawsuit for malpractice is successful, your lawyer will charge you a fixed percentage of the amount that you receive in compensation. It's typically 33% but can vary depending on your lawyer's experience and expertise. Since your lawyer is only paid if they collect money for you, their interests are aligned with yours and they will always be determined to maximize the amount of money that you receive in your malpractice lawsuit settlement.
While this arrangement is beneficial for a lot of victims, it could be detrimental in the context of medical malpractice cases. Having a fee arrangement that pits the financial interests of lawyers against the interests of their clients is harmful to the relationship between the lawyer and client. This type of fee structure creates an incentive for lawyers to convince clients to settle their cases for less than they are worth. This could be detrimental to many clients.
Settlements Outside the Courtroom
Contrary to what you see on television, nearly 90% of malpractice cases that are able to can be resolved without court the help of attorneys who calculate a reasonable monetary amount. This is due to the fact that insurance companies are more likely to settle out of court than to go through expensive litigation.
During negotiations for a settlement the injured claimants can seek compensation both for economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover the cost of medical bills in the past and into the future which include any medications or rehabilitation therapy costs. They also include the lost wages that result from being away from work as a result of the medical negligence.
Non-economic damages deal with the mental stress and loss of quality. Mental anguish refers to extreme emotional distress, which may result in post-traumatic disorders as well as anger, apathy and depression. Loss of Quality of Life is the inability of exercising or sleeping, or maintaining healthy relationships.
Many doctors and insurance companies believe that malpractice lawsuits are creating an unjust trend of rising settlements. However, research and data show that medical negligence claims are just 0.3 percent of the healthcare costs.
In addition the option of settling a case outside of court allows the victim to maintain their privacy and avoid public disclosure of what happened to them. Contrarily going to trial could force the victim to relive the pain they experienced and could be subject to a harsh judgement from other people. This is why the decision to settle a case out-of-court an important one that every victim should take into consideration.
