What Types of Financial Recovery Can I Pursue in a Medical Malpractice Claim?
“Damages” is the term for legally-required monetary payments to injury and accident victims. Most medical negligence cases involve both “special” and “general” damages.
Both these categories of payments are intended to compensate for the losses that the victim has experienced. “Special” damages make up for direct financial expenses, while “general” damages compensate for the intangible loss from an injury.
Examples of special damages include:
- Additional medical costs caused by the malpractice
- Expected future medical expenses
- Losses associated with missed work
Examples of general damages are:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental distress—including depression, anxiety, and stress
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Decreased enjoyment of life
- Decreases in future earning capacity
It is very difficult to accurately assess the value of general damages in a medical negligence case. That is why you should reach out to one of the skilled legal specialists at Morgan & Morgan.
Our Marietta medical negligence attorneys have the experience needed to accurately determine the value of your case. You should never accept a lowball or inadequate settlement. When you hire our firm, we will fight for maximum compensation for your medical malpractice claim.
Is There a Cap on Medical Malpractice Damages in Georgia?
Georgia litigators have put a “cap” in place with regard to certain types of malpractice damages. These laws function to limit the amount of damages that victims can receive, regardless of what a jury rules in these cases.
The cap under Georgia state law applies only to general damages. In Marietta, medical negligence victims can only receive up to $350,000 in general damages payments per claim. If more than one medical facility is at fault, victims may see as much as $700,000.
This cap on damages has faced many legal challenges since 2010. To determine the value of your tort claim, review the facts of your situation with one of the legal experts at Morgan & Morgan.
