Medical Malpractice Settlements
In order to receive full compensation after medical malpractice lawyers can be a challenge. Malpractice victims must bargain with the doctor accused of the malpractice and their insurance provider legally known as defendants.
How do juries and judges judge the value of the case? This article will examine the major factors that affect the calculation of a settlement for malpractice.
Damages
Typically, a medical negligence settlement is comprised by two types of damages that are non-economic and economic. Economic damages are based on calculable losses such as medical bills as well as future costs. Non-economic damages include injuries and suffering as well as disfigurement and loss of enjoyment of living.
When negotiating a medical negligence settlement both you and your attorney will work with economists as well as other financial experts to determine the worth of your losses. For instance, if you were permanently disabled due to a doctor's negligence then the value of your future income loss has to be calculated as well. This is known as the present value and is a complicated calculation your lawyer will employ an expert to assist.
It is therefore important to work with a medical negligence attorney who has expertise on your side. You could be entitled thousands or even millions of dollars in compensation based on the severity and the extent of your injury.
Many types of medical malpractice have the highest settlement value which includes missed diagnosis and prenatal mistakes that cause maternal distress, as well as minor surgical mistakes. However, certain malpractice cases have lower settlement value. These include minor surgical mistakes or allergic reactions that can be treated with medications. These kinds of injuries aren't likely to result in an injury that lasts over a lifetime, and therefore do not merit the same indemnity as serious injuries which require continuous treatment.
Litigation costs
As with all malpractice cases, there are numerous factors that determine the value of a settlement for medical malpractice. These include economic damages that are the price of your past and future expenses resulting from the malpractice, as well in non-economic damages.
The first is any medical bills that you have incurred and the costs of future medical treatment, and any lost wages due to absence from work as a result of your injury. The latter is compensation for the suffering, pain, and reduced quality of life that you've experienced due to the negligence that caused your injury. Non-economic damages are usually dependent on the severity of your injury and are determined using a seriousness factor (also called a multiplier) which can range between two and five.
It may seem that doctors are being forced into court by frivolous lawsuits, but the truth is that malpractice suits only represent 0.3 percent of healthcare expenses. They are necessary to make sure patients receive the medical treatment they need. The majority of medical malpractice cases settle outside of court by negotiating a fair monetary settlement.
In addition to state laws that establish the minimum value of a medical malpractice case, the location in which your claim is filed will also affect the value of your claim. Jurors in Baltimore City, Prince George's County and Montgomery County, for example, are more favorable to victims of medical negligence.
Attorney's Fees
In the majority of medical malpractice cases the lawyer you choose to work with will be on a contingency-fee basis. The attorney won't be paid until you receive an settlement, verdict, or award through negotiations or trial. This can be an excellent way to receive the best legal representation without needing to cover the initial expenses of hiring an attorney in a typical case.
If a lawsuit for malpractice is successful, your lawyer will charge you a fixed percentage of the amount that you receive in compensation. It's usually 33%, but it could vary based on the experience and expertise of your medical malpractice lawyer. Your lawyer's interests align because they only get paid when they earn the money you owe. They will always fight to maximize the amount you receive from the settlement.
While this arrangement is beneficial for a lot of victims, it can be negative in medical malpractice cases. A fee structure that pits lawyers financially against their clients' interests is inherently harmful to the relationship between client and lawyer. Furthermore, this kind of fee arrangement creates a strong incentive to advise clients to pay less than the case is worth, which could cause harm in a variety of situations.
Settlements outside of the Courtroom
Despite what you may be seeing on television, over 90% of all malpractice cases are settled out of court with the assistance of lawyers making a reasonable settlement. This is because insurance companies are more likely to settle out of court rather than go through costly litigation.
During the medical malpractice settlement negotiations the injured claimants seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are a result of future and past medical expenses, including medications or rehabilitation therapy. The damages also pay for lost wages resulting from the absence from work due to the injury.
Non-economic damages are aimed at addressing mental anguish, and loss of quality. Mental anguish can be characterized as extreme emotional distress, which may result in post-traumatic disorder anger, apathy, and apathy. Loss of enjoyment of life can be caused by the inability to exercise, sleep, or maintain healthy relationships.
Many doctors and insurers believe that malpractice claims are creating an unjust trend of rising settlement awards. However, research and statistics indicate that medical negligence claims are only 0.3 percent of healthcare costs.
In addition the option of settling a case outside of court allows the victim to preserve their privacy and avoid public disclosure of what transpired to them. By contrast going to trial could force the victim to remember the events that they went through and could be subject to a harsh judgement from other people. This makes the decision to settle a dispute outside of court an important one that each victim should take into consideration.
