How do juries and judges judge the value of an instance? This article will discuss the most important elements to be considered when settling a case of malpractice.
Damages
In general, a settlement for medical negligence is comprised of two types of damages both economic and non-economic. Economic damages are based upon calculable losses, which include medical bills and future care costs. Non-economic damages are based on the plaintiff's pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and many more.
In negotiating a medical malpractice settlement the attorney and you will work with economists and other financial experts to determine the worth of your losses. For example, if you have been permanently disabled from an error of a physician then the value of your future income loss has to be calculated, too. This is called present value and is a complicated calculation that your lawyer will engage an expert to assist.
In this regard, it is important to have an experienced medical malpractice attorney to assist you. Depending on the extent of your injuries, you could be entitled to millions or even thousands of dollars in compensation.
Many types of medical malpractice cases have an excellent settlement value that include missdiagnosis, prenatal mishaps that result in maternal suffering and minor surgical mistakes. However, some malpractice cases have lower settlements. It could be because of allergic reactions that have been cured by medication or a minor mistake in surgery where the injury was not severe. These kinds of injuries aren't likely to result in the disability that lasts for over a lifetime, and therefore do not merit the same compensation as serious injuries that require ongoing treatment.
Costs for litigation
In any malpractice case, there are many factors that influence the value of the settlement for medical malpractice. These include economic damages, which are the costs of your past and future expenses resulting from the malpractice incident, aswell in non-economic damages.
The former covers the cost of any medical bills you have incurred, the anticipated costs of future medical care, and any lost wages resulting from time off from work due to your injury. The second kind of compensation is for suffering, pain and diminished quality of your life due to of the negligence that caused your injury. The amount of non-economic damages is usually determined by the severity your injury and are determined the use of a seriousness factor (also called a multiplier) which varies between two and five.
Although it might appear that malpractice lawsuits are dragging doctors into court to make frivolous claims, the truth is that malpractice suits represent only about 0.3 percent of healthcare expenses and are essential to ensure that patients receive the medical treatment they deserve. The majority of medical malpractice cases are settled out of court by lawyers who calculate a reasonable monetary amount.
In addition to the state laws that define the minimum value of a case involving medical malpractice, the location in which your claim is filed will also influence its worth. For instance, jurors in Baltimore City and Prince George's County tend to be very favorable towards those who suffer from medical malpractice, whereas Anne Arundel, Carroll County, and Montgomery County are less so.
Attorney's Fees
In most medical malpractice cases the lawyer you choose to work with will be on a contingent fee basis. The attorney won't be paid until you have a settlement, verdict or award via negotiations or trial. This is a great way to get the best legal representation without having to come up with the initial expenses of hiring an attorney in the typical scenario.
If you win an action for malpractice your lawyer will be charged a portion of the settlement you receive. It's typically 33% but can vary depending on your lawyer's experience and expertise. Because your lawyer only gets paid if they are able to recover money for you and their interests align with yours. They will always strive to maximize the amount you get in your malpractice settlement.
This arrangement may be beneficial for some victims, but it can also be detrimental when dealing with medical malpractice cases. A fee structure that pits lawyers financially against those of their clients is detrimental to the relationship between lawyer-client. This type of fee structure creates an incentive for lawyers to tell clients to settle their cases for less than they are worth. This could be detrimental for many clients.
Settlements Outside the Courtroom
Contrary to what you'll see on TV, nearly 90 percent of viable legal cases involving malpractice settle out-of-court, with the assistance of attorneys making a reasonable settlement. This is because insurance companies tend to settle outside of court than go through costly litigation.
In the course of medical malpractice settlement negotiations those who suffer from the injury seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are a way to cover the cost of medical bills in the past and into the future which include any medications or rehabilitation therapy costs. The damages also compensate for lost wages due to absence from work due to this.
Non-economic damages, on contrary, focus on mental distress and loss of quality of life. Mental anguish may be severe emotional distress that results in post-traumatic stress disorder, apathy, depression, and anger. Loss in quality of life results from the inability to exercise, sleep, or maintain healthy relationships.
Many doctors and insurance companies believe that malpractice claims are creating an unjust trend of increasing settlement awards. Medical negligence claims only account for 0.3 percent of all healthcare costs, as per research and information.
A settlement outside of court lets the victim keep their privacy and prevents public disclosure of what transpired. In contrast, a trial makes the victim reflect on their experiences and exposes the victim to harsh judgments from others. This is why the decision to settle the case out of court an important decision that every victim should carefully consider.
