The Types of Damages that Could Entitle You to Medical Malpractice Compensation

There are many kinds of ways you could be eligible to recover damages for medical malpractice. For instance, any worsening or additional injury the liable party caused you is not the only way you could take home a settlement or judgment.

Your pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life are also relevant. Medical bills, such as physical therapy, any surgery or hospital stays your malpractice caused you to endure, and mobility aids you have to rent or buy qualify you for damages as well.

If you are looking to file a medical malpractice lawsuit because you lost your loved one to medical malpractice, we are sorry. Wrongful death damages that could result in a financial award are:

  • Loss of guidance
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of your loved one’s income
  • Your loved one’s medical bills prior to their passing

Speak to your legal team about the ways you could secure a settlement. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) states that “most physicians carry medical malpractice insurance.” However, your journey is not over if the defendant in your case is not covered by such a policy.

Insurance companies often scour victims’ profiles for opportunities to disprove the victim’s pain and claim for damages.

If you post a picture of yourself at the beach while on pain medication to get through the day, all the adjuster will see is that you are able to have a good time. They will claim that you are not truly hurting. Do not give them this chance.

You should also collect everything you can think will help us with your medical malpractice case, write down all the details that you think might be relevant, and be ready to recount your experiences. Our medical malpracrice attorneys in Queens, NY know this aspect of the case can be difficult, but we have to hear everything so we can build your case.

  • Your Queens medical professional had this duty of care to keep you safe.
  • The liable party violated this duty.
  • This violation harmed you.
  • The harm you suffered caused your financial losses.
