Medical Malpractice
When individuals seek medical treatment from a physician or other medical professional, they place their trust in the professional's ability to render proper medical care. When that trust is shattered by negligent or incompetent conduct, it generally has significant and long lasting consequences.
Unfortunately, the judicial system cannot return the person to the health they enjoyed before the negligent treatment. However, it can offer an individual monetary relief that will ease the financial burdens that always accompany negligent medical care.
Negligent medical care generally results in significant medical expenses, lost wages and other economic losses. Of course, a person who has received negligent medical care is most often permanently injured and faces a lifetime of pain and suffering. Inevitably, the injured person's spouse and entire family is impacted. Whether the injured person is a husband, wife or child, the lives of other members of the family are inalterably changed and result in greater burdens for all family members.
Persons who have been the victim of medical malpractice are entitled to recover damages for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An award for pain and suffering includes not only the physical pain which the person has endured, but also the mental anguish which accompanies that pain.
In addition, the person has a right to recover economic costs such as changes to their home that are necessary due to their new disability and medical equipment essential for their survival. The spouse of the injured person has the right to recover for the loss of consortium or services and companionship of their spouse.
