Medical Malpractice Settlements
Receiving full compensation following medical malpractice can be challenging. Victims of malpractice are required to negotiate with the physician accused and their insurance company who are legally referred to as defendants.
Victims are entitled to compensation for their losses however, how do juries and judges evaluate a case's value? This article will examine some of the most important elements to be considered when settling a malpractice claim.
Damages
In general, a medical malpractice settlement is composed of two types of damages both economic and non-economic. Economic damages are based upon calculable expenses, such as medical bills and future healthcare costs. Non-economic damages are based on a plaintiff's pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
You and your attorney will consult with financial experts and economists in order to determine the value of your losses. If you are permanently disabled as a result of negligence by a doctor, then the value of your future loss of income is also determined. This is referred to as the current value, and it is an intricate calculation, for which your lawyer will assign an expert to assist.
In this regard, it is essential to have an expert medical malpractice lawyer to represent you. You could be entitled thousands or even millions of dollars in compensation, based on the severity and the extent of your injuries.
Many types of medical malpractice carry a large settlement amount that includes missed diagnoses and prenatal errors that cause maternal distress, as well as minor surgical mistakes. However, certain malpractice cases have lower settlement value. These include minor surgical errors or allergic reactions that can be treated with medication. These injuries are less likely to result in permanent disability, and therefore do not merit the same amount of compensation as an extreme injury that requires regular treatment.
Litigation costs
As with any malpractice case there are a variety of factors that influence the value of an agreement for medical malpractice. These include economic damages which are the cost of your future and past expenses associated with the malpractice, as well other damages that are not economic.
The first is any medical bills that you have suffered and the costs of future medical treatment, and any lost wages resulting from absence from work as a result of your injury. The latter refers to compensation for the suffering, pain, and diminished quality of life you have endured because of the negligence that led to your injury. Non-economic damages are determined by the severity of an injury. This is determined using a seriousness multiplier (also known as a multiplier) that ranges between two and five.
While it might seem that malpractice lawsuits are dragging doctors into court to settle frivolous claims but the reality is that malpractice suits account for only 0.3% of healthcare costs and are needed to ensure that patients receive the medical care they deserve. Most medical malpractice cases are settled out of court by lawyers who calculate a reasonable monetary amount.
The place of your claim will also impact the value. State laws determine the minimum amount for medical malpractice claims. 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 medical malpractice cases lawyers are paid on the basis of a contingency. The attorney won't be paid until you have a settlement, verdict or award through negotiations or trial. This is a great way for obtaining top-quality legal representation without the upfront costs that come with hiring an attorney.
If you prevail in a malpractice suit your lawyer will be charged a percentage of the compensation you receive. This is usually 33%, but it could vary based on the expertise and experience of your medical malpractice lawyer. Since your lawyer is only paid if they collect funds for you, their interests are aligned with yours, and they will always strive to increase the amount you receive from your malpractice lawsuit settlement.
While this arrangement is good for a lot of victims, it could be detrimental in medical malpractice cases. A fee structure that pits lawyers' financial interests against their clients' interests is inherently harmful to the relationship between lawyer and client. Furthermore, this kind of fee arrangement creates a strong incentive for clients to take a lesser amount than what their case is worth, which can be harmful in many cases.
Settlements outside the Courtroom
Despite what you may see on TV, nearly 90% of malpractice cases settle out of court with the assistance of lawyers who calculate a fair settlement. This is because insurance companies are more inclined to avoid costly litigation.
During medical malpractice settlement negotiations those who suffer from the injury seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are a way to cover future and past medical bills, including any medications or rehabilitation therapy costs. The damages also provide compensation for lost wages caused by the absence from work due to this.
Non-economic damages address mental distress, as well as loss of quality. Mental anguish is characterized by severe emotional stress, which can result in post-traumatic disorders, apathy and anger. Loss of Quality of Life is the inability of exercising, sleeping, or maintaining healthy relationships.
Many doctors and insurance companies believe that malpractice claims have created an unjust trend in settlement awards. However, research and statistics show that medical negligence claims are only 0.3 percent of healthcare costs.
A settlement without a court hearing allows the victim to keep their privacy and avoids public disclosure of what occurred. By contrast going to trial could force the victim to recall what they suffered and potentially expose them to judgments that are hurtful from others. This makes the decision to settle the case out of court an important decision that every victim should carefully consider.
