Recoverable Damages in a Brookhaven Medical Malpractice Case
In the worst cases, as Johns Hopkins Medicine explains, medical errors claim victims’ lives. In many cases, victims suffer serious but non-fatal injuries and illnesses because of medical professionals’ errors.
In cases of non-fatal injuries or illness, recoverable damages may include:
Pain and Suffering
Many, if not most, victims of medical malpractice experience some degree of pain and suffering. This category of damages can include:
- Acute pain
- Chronic (long-term) pain
- Emotional anguish
- Psychological distress
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Lost quality of life
- Suicidality
Our lawyers serving Brookhaven work with experts to diagnose and value clients’ pain and suffering.
Medical Expenses
You may deserve reimbursement for any medical care that proved to be negligent. You may also get compensation for medical care required because of medical malpractice, including:
- Emergency care
- Hospitalization
- Medical imaging
- Corrective surgery
- Medications
- Assistive medical equipment
- Doctor visits to monitor the progress of your recovery
Each victim of medical malpractice follows a unique medical journal. Our team will secure evidence of all your malpractice-related medical expenses. We will demand that liable parties cover these expenses in full.
Professional Damages
Injuries and illnesses resulting from medical malpractice may cause the victim to:
- Lose income
- Suffer diminished earning power
- Lose opportunities to earn bonuses and promotions
- Lose the fulfillment that they get from working
These and any other professional damages will be part of your Brookhaven medical malpractice case. If you are still unable to work, we will collaborate with economists or other experts to project your future professional damages.
Tragically, some victims of medical malpractice pass away. When medical malpractice causes a wrongful death, surviving loved ones may also face medical expenses. Those surviving loved ones may also face:
- The cost of their loved one’s funeral
- The loss of their loved one’s companionship
- The loss of a parent’s guidance
- The loss of the decedent’s financial support
- Grief and other types of pain and suffering
