Economic damages in medical malpractice cases are meant to compensate for tangible monetary losses due to the negligence.

Medical Expenses

These include past medical bills already incurred, as well as future bills expected for ongoing care, treatment, surgeries, hospitalizations, physical therapy, rehabilitation, prescriptions, assistive devices and in-home nursing care.
