Damages in Medical Negligence Cases

Every medical negligence case is unique and the damages available to the plaintiff will vary depending on the facts of the case, the extent of the plaintiff’s injuries, the person or entity sued, and the nature of the care provided or not provided.  Generally speaking, damages in a medical negligence case will include past and future medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.  If a patient dies as the result of medical negligence, the family members of the deceased can file a wrongful death action seeking damages from the parties responsible.   

Some states, like California, limit the amount of non-economic damages (e.g. pain and suffering) that a plaintiff can recover in a medical negligence case.  There are, however, some exceptions to these rules and an experienced attorney can help a potential plaintiff determine the damages which may be available in their case.
