Understanding Medical NegligenceMedical malpractice occurs when a Rancho Palos Verdes health care professional breaches the standard of care when treating a patient. This negligence can take many forms, such as:

Damages Available in Medical Malpractice CasesWhen medical negligence or errors cause preventable injury or death, the at-fault doctor, nurse, hospital, or other health care provider should be held accountable. Medical malpractice victims can pursue legal damages or compensation for losses suffered.
Economic DamagesEconomic damages aim to recover measurable, tangible monetary losses from medical malpractice. These can include:
Medical ExpensesAll past and projected future medical costs related to treating the injury can be claimed - surgery, hospitalization, drugs, physical therapy, at-home nursing care, specialized equipment like wheelchairs, and more.
Lost IncomeLost wages to date and loss of future earning capacity are claimable if the injury reduced what someone can work and earn. Damages often cover reduced pensions or social security payments too.
Other Financial LossesPast and future childcare costs, property losses, travel costs related to treatment, etc. may be recovered too. An experienced lawyer will identify all provable damages.
Noneconomic DamagesNoneconomic damages compensate for intangible losses that profoundly reduce quality of life. These can include physical and emotional pain and suffering, loss of companionship or consortium for a spouse, permanent disability or disfigurement, loss of reproductive ability, and more.
Calculating these highly subjective damages involves legal expertise - especially when the impacts are devastating or permanent, like quadriplegia. Lawyers may retain economists and other experts to validate claims. While no amount of money can make up for tragedy, securing adequate compensation is essential to cover major needs not paid by health insurance, Medicare, etc.
Punitive DamagesIn rare cases where negligence is extreme, punitive damages may be awarded to punish wrongdoers. These are meant solely to penalize defendants, not further compensate plaintiffs. Awards are larger legal victories benefiting society by deterring similar misconduct.
