Medical attorneys have experience in obtaining compensatory damages for acts of negligence.
Compensation is designed to reimburse the injured victim to the extent that money is able to do so, for injuries that are proximately caused by another person’s negligence. So if you have been injured because of a physician’s medical incompetence, or because of a negligent act at work, or because of a road accident, a medical attorney can help you get personal injury compensation.
What can I be compensated for?
Your lawyer or attorney will advise you of what you can claim in your particular case. Depending on the law in your State, and how severe your injuries are, you could be entitled to thousands or millions of dollars.
Compensation damages can include payments for pain and suffering, lost income due to being unable to work, medical and hospital expenses, emotional distress, and rehabilitation equipment needs.
Punitive damages may be claimed. Punitive damages are a type of compensatory damages that are designed to punish the wrongdoer in an effort to prevent them from repeating the offending act. They are generally awarded in the most severe negligence cases, that is where there has been intentional harm, wanton, willful or gross negligence. That is, punitive damages are an additional type of compensation that is awarded to the plaintiff when the wrongdoer’s actions are more severe than just negligent.
Medical Malpractice and Damages
In medical malpractice cases, it is usually the case that the physician involved will have an insurance policy which they rely upon. So when you sue a physician/doctor, it is the doctor’s insurance company which will pay you the compensation.
If you make an additional claim for punitive damages, this type of compensation will not normally be covered by the insurance policy. The physician’s personal assets may then become vulnerable, as they will be personally liable to pay you for damages awarded to you.
