Medical Malpractice Settlements
Receiving full compensation following medical malpractice can be challenging. Malpractice victims must bargain with the doctor who was accused and their insurance provider, legally referred to as defendants.
Victims should be compensated for their losses, malpractice but how exactly do judges and juries calculate a case's value? This article will examine some of the most important factors to consider when settling a malpractice case.
Damages
Typically, a medical negligence settlement is composed of two types of damages that are non-economic and economic. Economic damages are based upon calculable losses, which include medical bills and future healthcare costs. Non-economic damages are based on a claimant's suffering and pain and disfigurement, loss enjoyment of life, and more.
When negotiating a medical malpractice settlement with your attorney, you will work with economists as well as other financial experts to determine the value of your losses. If you suffer permanent disability due to an error by a doctor, the value of your future loss of income is also determined. This is referred to as the current value, and it's a complicated calculation for which your lawyer will assign a specialist to assist.
It is vital to hire an expert medical malpractice lawyer on your side. You could be entitled to thousands or even millions of dollars in compensation based on the severity and extent of your injuries.
Many types of medical malpractice carry the highest settlement value which includes missed diagnosis and prenatal errors that cause maternal distress, as well as minor surgical mistakes. However, some malpractice cases have lower settlements. These could include allergic reactions that have been cured with medication or a minor mistake during surgery, where the injury wasn't significant. These injuries are less likely to result in an ongoing disability, so they do not warrant the same amount of compensation as an extreme injury that requires regular treatment.
Costs of Litigation
Like any malpractice case, there are numerous factors that determine the value of a settlement for medical malpractice. Economic damages are the amount of future and past costs due to the malpractice incident. Additionally, non-economic damages are included.
The first one is the medical bills that you have suffered and the costs of future medical treatment, in addition to any lost wages resulting from absence from work as a result of your injury. The latter refers to compensation for the pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life you've endured due to the negligence that led to your injury. Non-economic damages are determined by the severity of an injury. This is determined using a seriousness multiplier (also called a multiplier) that can vary between two and five.
While it may seem like malpractice lawsuits are dragging doctors to court to settle frivolous claims, the truth is that malpractice suits account for only 0.3 percent of healthcare costs and are vital to ensure patients get the medical treatment they deserve. Most medical malpractice cases are settled out of court by lawyers who calculate the appropriate amount of money.
The location of your claim will also affect its value. State laws determine the minimum value for medical malpractice claims. For instance jurors in Baltimore City and Prince George's County are generally favorable toward victims of medical malpractice, while Anne Arundel, Carroll County and Montgomery County are less so.
Attorney's Fees
In the majority of medical malpractice cases the lawyer you choose to work with will be on a contingent fee basis. This means that the attorney will not be paid until they get a settlement or verdict for you, either through negotiations or trial. This can be a great way to get the best legal representation without having to pay the initial expenses of hiring an attorney in a typical case.
If a malpractice case is successful, your attorney will charge you a fixed percentage of the amount that you receive in compensation. It's typically 33% but could vary dependent on the experience of your lawyer and skill. Since your lawyer is only paid if they recover funds for you and their interests align with yours, and they will always fight hard to increase the amount you receive in the settlement you receive for your malpractice.
This arrangement can be beneficial to certain victims, but it can be detrimental when dealing with medical malpractice cases. A fee structure that pits lawyers financial interests against those of their clients is detrimental to the relationship between attorney-client. Furthermore, this type fee arrangement provides a powerful incentive to advise clients to take a lesser amount than what their case is worth, which could be harmful in many instances.
Settlements Outside the Courtroom
Contrary to what you be seeing on television, over 90 percent of viable malpractice cases settle out of court with the help of attorneys in determining a fair monetary settlement. This is because large insurance companies would rather avoid costly litigation.
During the medical malpractice settlement negotiations those who suffer from the injury seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages refer to future and past medical expenses, such as medications or rehabilitation therapy. The damages also pay for lost wages resulting from time away from the workplace due to the injury.
Non-economic damages, on other hand, can cause mental stress and loss of quality of life. Mental anguish can be characterized as extreme emotional distress, which can result in post-traumatic disorder or apathy, as well as anger. Loss of quality of life is the inability to exercise or sleep, as well as maintain healthy relationships.
Many insurance companies and doctors believe that malpractice claims have led to an unfair trend in settlements. But, research and data suggest that medical negligence lawsuits are only about 0.3 percent of healthcare costs.
A settlement that is not in court lets the victim keep their privacy and prevents public disclosure about what happened. A trial, on the other hand, makes the victim reflect on their experiences and may expose them to hurtful judgements from others. It is vital that victims carefully consider the option of settling their case outside of court.
