Permanent Disability

For instance, a medical professional might have mistakenly diagnosed the patient with a disease like cancer, which is life-threatening. The most severe injuries are also more likely to cause an indefinite disability, which raises the cost of an insurance claim.

Pain and Suffering

The victims of medical malpractice may also seek compensation for physical discomfort they've endured as a consequence of the negligence of a physician. Physical pain could be based on an injury to the body, such as fractured bones, and may include loss of range of motion, scarring, the inability to exercise or sleep as well as loss of sexual function as well as other injuries that impact the quality of life for the victim.

There are a variety of methods to calculate the value of an award for pain and suffering, for instance using a multiplier. This method is a way of adding all damages together, and then multiply this number by a specific amount between 1.5 and 5. Certain states have limits on these types of awards, but in most instances, judges cannot overturn the decision of a jury.

Loss of Future Earnings

Medical malpractice victims are entitled to various damages, including loss of future earnings. This is the amount a victim would have earned if he or she could work at their previous job, or if they were able to get a job that suited their disabilities. This is a complicated type of damage that usually requires the assistance of an expert economist to calculate.

Calculating lost earnings is simple if the victim earned an hourly wage. A lawyer can multiply the hourly rate of a person by the number of hours they did not work to calculate their total lost wage. An individual who was employed as a salaried worker must consider the length of time they were not able to work as well as their salary and benefits.
