No amount of money can make up for egregious medical negligence resulting in a lifetime of disability and hardship, or the profound loss of losing a loved one. But it can pay for major expenses stemming from such tragedy. Damages we aggressively pursue include:

• Exceeding high long-term medical treatment costs
• Necessary modifications to homes & vehicles
• Lost income from inability to work
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of companionship or consortium
• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of financial support from the deceased

When medical malpractice leads to catastrophic injury or wrongful death, monetary compensation allows victims some relief for their losses. There are several types of damages that can be pursued.

Economic damages in malpractice claims aim to cover quantifiable financial losses from medical negligence.

All past and future medical costs stemming from the incident can be recovered - surgery, hospitalization, medications, therapists, in-home nursing care, specialized equipment like wheelchairs, and more. The amounts can exceed millions over a lifetime for severe disabilities.

Victims may claim damages for past and future inability to work and earn income due to disabilities that could have been avoided. The losses are calculated based on the person's earning potential before malpractice-induced impairment.

Non-economic damages compensate for intangible, quality-of-life losses.

Monetary compensation for the physical pain, discomfort, inconvenience, and mental anguish suffered due to medical errors. Typically, the greatest damage component.

Payout for mental harm like anxiety, depression, PTSD, lack of enjoyment of life due to medical negligence resulting in permanent injuries or wrongful death of a loved one.

Spouses can make claims for damage to marital relations and loss of intimacy stemming from injuries to their partner due to malpractice. Children can also sue for lost parental companionship.

In rare cases where misconduct is intentional or grossly negligent, courts impose additional punitive damages to punish wrongdoers. But criteria to qualify is extremely stringent.

An experienced medical malpractice lawyer thoroughly calculates all applicable damages to build the strongest claim possible demanding maximum compensation for victims’ losses.

Handling severe medical injury cases is complex, with many variables that impact whether an incident qualifies as negligence eligible for a lawsuit. Here are answers to some commonly asked questions:

Medical malpractice refers to a healthcare professional violating accepted standards of practice when treating a patient, resulting in injury or death. This can involve errors, failing to diagnose conditions promptly, surgical mishaps, improper prescriptions, etc. Negligence must be proven for a successful claim.

Mistakes happen. For medical malpractice, more is required than just proving an error occurred. The patient must show damages happened because a provider failed to meet accepted professional standards - not just that the outcome was not optimal or as expected. Severity matters too - minor errors don't qualify as malpractice eligible for lawsuits.

Every state has defined statutes of limitations setting legal time limits to pursue medical malpractice claims after incidents occur as evidence can become unreliable over time. Most allow 1-3 years in California but exceptions exist. It’s imperative injury victims speak to a lawyer immediately to evaluate case viability and ensure filing deadlines are not missed.

Lawyers conduct in-depth reviews of medical records to identify provider errors revealing substandard patient care. Some examples: failure to order appropriate tests that would have led to correct diagnosis and treatment; surgical mistakes during procedures; ignoring symptoms and serious health complaints; improper usage of medical equipment and instruments.

If negligent medical care aggravates a preexisting condition and makes it substantially worse than prior baselines, the patient can potentially file a malpractice claim. For instance, failure to properly treat diabetes deteriorates kidneys functioning; surgical errors cause previously managed chronic back pain to become permanently disabling.
