Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can lead to various losses, which include medical costs along with lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. A New York attorney who is skilled can assist you in understanding your rights to compensation that you have.
The first step is to determine whether you suffered injuries as a result of medical mistake. Then, you can proceed with a malpractice lawsuit.
Medical expenses
The expense of medical treatment to treat injuries is the most obvious. This type of damage has limitations set by law of the state which is set in the liability insurance policy of a healthcare provider. Some states also set up injured patient compensation funds to cover the perceived cost of litigation and to lower the liability costs for health care providers.
In addition to medical expenses The victims also have the right to compensation for the other costs that are a result of negligence. These are called special or economic damages. They cover the costs of any medical procedures (past and future) that are required to address the injury resulting from the malpractice, as well the loss of income due to being unable to work due to the injury.
The damages for suffering and pain are typical in medical malpractice cases. This category of damages is a bit different for each claimant and is a subjective matter. It covers any physical or emotional pain and other physical or psychological effects that result from the negligence. A plaintiff, for example might be compensated in the event that the doctor made a mistake that caused her to fail to take part in a crucial cancer screening.
In some instances, punitive damages may also be granted. These are intended to punish an individual doctor for the most egregious behaviour, such as leaving an unclean sponge in the patient's body following surgery.
Suffering and pain
Pain and suffering are an example of non-economic damage in medical malpractice cases. The damages are based on the physical and psychological trauma a victim suffered because of the negligence of the doctor. The symptoms may be minor, like discomfort or anxiety or even more severe, such as loss of enjoyment in life, depression, embarrassment, anxiety, and sleep issues.
It's not easy to put a dollar amount on pain and suffering, so jury instructions typically leave it up to the jurors to rely on their own judgment, background, and experience in determining what they believe is reasonable and fair. The amounts that are awarded in malpractice lawsuits cases vary widely.
Your medical malpractice attorney can help you prove the severity of your suffering using evidence that can be used to prove your case. X-rays, photos, models, home movies diagrams and drawings can all help a jury see the extent of your injuries and understand how they affected your daily life.
If a doctor's error resulted in the death of a patient's heirs, they could be able to recover damages through the survival statutes, or wrongful death lawsuits. Laws governing wrongful deaths allow the spouse and children of the deceased victim to receive the same compensation they would have received if the patient survived. The amount that a victim can receive is typically restricted by the state's caps on pain and suffering. This is why it's so important to have a seasoned medical malpractice attorney on your side to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Lost wages
If you have to miss work because of medical malpractice you may be able to recover your lost wages. This amount includes your base pay, bonuses, commissions as well as benefits for employees, pay raises, and retirement fund contributions. Your attorney will review past pay stubs and determine your average earnings prior to your injury. Then, subtract your lost work from that figure to calculate your total lost earnings. Your attorney can also assist you in determining the future loss of earnings by using a present value calculation. This is an analysis of your finances that analyzes the consequences of your injuries in the future on your ability to earn an income. It is usually done by a professional who is hired by your attorney.
In addition to compensating for your economic losses, you may also claim non-economic damages for the pain and suffering caused by the accident. The jury will determine the appropriate compensation amount, which can vary from case to case. Some states cap these damages. However they have been declared inconstitutional by a number of courts.
Settlements of seven figures tend to be associated with serious permanent injuries or death resulting from extreme healthcare negligence. For example, surgical mistakes that result in amputations, complications during obstetrics that cause the brain of a baby and death, as well as anesthesia errors which cause comas can all result in high-value settlements. Punitive damages, intended to punish bad behavior, may also be available in certain circumstances.
Future medical treatment and damages

The first are based on measurable financial losses such as future and past medical expenses. The latter is more difficult to quantify and includes pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of living. In a medical malpractice lawsuit the jury will have to hear testimony from experts to determine these types of losses.
It is fairly simple to prove medical expenses from the past by submitting actual bills that were given to the injured person by their health care providers. For future expenses, the lawyer for the plaintiff will provide medical evidence that demonstrates the type of treatment that is likely to be required in the near future and the amount that those treatments cost currently. The amount of medical treatment required may be dependent on the age of the victim at the time of malpractice.
The court can award damages for future lost wages is feasible by proving how the injury has affected the patient's future earnings capacity and ability to work. This can be supported by expert witness testimony or by looking at similar cases from the past.
