What Happens in a Malpractice Settlement?

Malpractice settlements compensate victims for medical mistakes. Settlements may include funds for future expenses, like surgeries or therapy, as well as compensation for past expenses, such as lost wages.

The amount of compensation for pain and discomfort is calculated by adding all of the special damages together and multiplying by a degree of severity, usually between 2-5. This number is meant to show the extent of the victim's mental or physical harm.

Statute of limitations

A statute of limitations is a law which sets a specific time limit for pursuing legal action for wrongful conduct. Your case will be dismissed if you file your lawsuit after the deadline. Contact a medical malpractice lawyer as soon as you can so they can start making your claim before the expiration date of the statute of limitations.
