Errors in surgery, misdiagnosis and other medical mistakes can cause serious injury, or even death. Similarly, when a doctor or nurse fails to respond appropriately to signs of distress during labor, causing the birth of a child with unnecessary illnesses or disabilities, he or she is negligent.
Damages awarded to victims of medical malpractice can include past and future medical expenses, past and future wage loss, compensation for disfigurement, loss of a normal life, loss of consortium (benefits of a relationship), and pain and suffering. The facts of the case and the extent of injury determine the award paid by the medical professional’s malpractice insurance carrier.
