What Compensation Am I Entitled to in a Medical Malpractice Case?
Medical malpractice can cause patients to suffer immense pain and significant financial hardships. Filing a claim against the healthcare professional and the medical facility can help you move on with your life and focus on your recovery. The compensation you’re entitled to can help cover any additional medical expenses that were caused by the error. Additionally, exposing the healthcare professional or medical facility that committed the error can bring you closure, while protecting other patients from suffering from the same mistakes.
The economic and non-economic damages you can pursue will depend on many factors, such as the severity of the injuries you suffered, your prognosis, whether you need medical care due to your injuries in the future, and other variables.
In some cases, a medical malpractice victim can obtain compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Past and future medical care costs
- Lost wages
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability
- Scarring and disfigurement
Your medical malpractice attorney will carefully review your case to determine which economic and noneconomic damages you’re entitled to.
How Much Do Medical Malpractice Lawyers Charge?
At the Hines Law Firm, our medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. With this type of payment arrangement, you will pay nothing upfront and will owe nothing if your case is not successful. If you do win your case, your medical malpractice lawyer will subtract a small percentage of your award or settlement to cover the cost of the legal services provided. A contingency fee payment arrangement allows medical malpractice victims to obtain experienced legal representation as soon as possible, giving their case the best possible chance of success.
