Getting Damages for Your Claim
When you file your medical malpractice claim with our team, you will likely want to learn more about the damages that you can win. These are:
- General Damages. When you have gone through suffering and pain directly related to the malpractice that occurred, you will likely fight for general damages. These kinds of damages are for the mental and physical pain you have endured. If you have experienced a loss of enjoyment of life or a loss of consortium, you would place these in the general damages.
- Special Damages. Special damages can be easier to argue for because it is easier for your medical malpractice lawyer Medford, OR trusts to quantify them. Things like your medical bills, lost income, and lost future income would go in special damages.
- Punitive Damages. Not everyone will successfully win a claim for punitive damages. These damages are there specifically to punish the medical professional who injured you. This will happen if the error that was done was particularly egregious.
If I knew that this was a possibility I never would have gone through with my treatment/surgery. Does this give me a license to sue the medical professional responsible?
This will depend. Whenever you go into a medical procedure, your doctor is required to inform you of the potential risks, especially risks that pose a serious threat to their health. Informed consent means you are aware of the dangers that could happen and you sign off on going through with the procedure. If your doctor did not disclose those risks to you, call our office right away.
