When filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, the purpose is to pursue compensation for the injuries, losses and harms suffered due to a healthcare provider’s negligence. The types and amounts of damages available depend on the specific details of each malpractice case. Common categories of medical malpractice damages include:

These damages aim to reimburse tangible monetary losses from medical negligence such as:

• Medical Expenses: All past and future medical costs associated with follow-up care, additional procedures to correct errors, rehabilitation, assistive devices and more.
• Lost Income: Reimbursement for complete or partial loss of wages due to inability to work during recovery.
• Loss of Earning Capacity: Compensation for permanent inability to return to same career or reduced future earnings.
• Out of Pocket Costs: Other incidental expenses for things like travel for specialist treatments or paying caregivers during recovery.

These subjective, intangible damages account for more personal impacts of malpractice like:

• Pain and Suffering: Ongoing symptoms that reduce quality of life such as chronic pain.
• Emotional Distress: Compensation for mental anguish like depression or anxiety disorder caused by disfigurement, disability or trauma.
• Loss of Companionship: Diminished ability to enjoy time with spouse, children and family that previously offered comfort and support.

In cases of clear recklessness, extreme negligence or intentional misconduct by healthcare providers, courts may award additional punitive damages to punished the defendant as a deterrent. These are capped under state laws.
