When filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, the damages that you can pursue fall into two major categories - economic and non-economic harms. An experienced medical negligence lawyer will fight to help you secure full and fair compensation across these critical damage types.

Economic damages in med mal cases aim to financially compensate direct monetary costs tied to the victim’s injuries suffered under negligent medical care. Some common economic damages include:

Lost Earnings - If injuries from substandard healthcare prevent someone from working either temporarily or permanently, the lost income incurred is pursued. This also accounts for impact to future earnings.

Medical Expenses - Any past and estimated future costs for hospital stays, surgeries, medications, treatments, equipment, at-home nursing care or special therapies required due to negligence-induced harm.

Non-economic damages cover losses not directly measurable in specific dollar amounts. These subjective, quality of life damages typically include:

Pain and Suffering - The physical discomfort and distress arising from preventable healthcare-caused injury.

Loss of Consortium - Harm to family relationships, such as inability to care for children or intimacy issues with a spouse.

Emotional Distress - Substantial negative mental impacts including anxiety, depression, PTSD, embarrassment or mental anguish stemming from disfigurement or impairment.

Punitive Damages - Additional compensation meant to punish especially egregious, intentional or reckless acts of medical negligence. Not awarded in most cases.

The medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law thoroughly investigate clients’ financial and personal losses to pursue maximum legal compensation across all applicable damages. We fight to ease the long-term burden victims and families unfairly endure.

Skilled medical expert witnesses are critical to demonstrating medical negligence and the full impacts it causes. When investigating potential malpractice, Moseley Collins Law works with physicians, life care planners, vocational specialists, economists, and other top experts to thoroughly prove our cases. Our lawyers leave no stone unturned while committing to provide each client excellent legal guidance and compassionate support throughout their justice journey.

The medical negligence lawyers at Moseley Collins Law believe pursuing justice should not create more hardship for victims and families already enduring tremendous suffering. We have seen clients struggle to pay for medical bills, grapple with lost wages, and require extensive care assistance. Health networks typically provide minimal help or none at all taking accountability - and when they do, settlement offers severely lowball compensation owed.

Our personal attention and tireless pursuit of the maximum damages possible provide clients the best chance at receiving the care and improved life quality they properly deserve.

The complexity of investigating negligence and arguing a medical malpractice case usually requires a lawyer’s expertise. We know how to navigate laws and build compelling arguments so victims get properly compensated.

These cases must adhere to a statute of limitations - 1 year from discovery in California, with some exceptions. Timeliness is critical, so contacting a lawyer quickly is important.

Several challenging steps are involved: establishing a doctor-patient relationship, proving the provider breached reasonable standards of medical care either through errors or omissions, demonstrating the breach directly caused harm, and showing measurable damages occurred.

Economic losses from medical costs and lost income and non-economic claims for pain/suffering are common. Our lawyers ensure you pursue maximum appropriate compensation.
