Punitive damages, designed to punish bad behaviour are also available in certain circumstances.

Damages that could be incurred for future medical care

For future expenses, the attorney for the plaintiff will provide medical evidence that shows the type of treatment that is likely to be required in the near future and the amount that those treatments cost today. The amount of future medical care needed can also be influenced by the victim's age at the time of the malpractice.

The damages for lost wages in the future can be established by showing the impact of an injury on a patient's ability to work and earn in the future. This can be supported by expert testimony from a witness or by examining similar cases in the past.
