Damages in a Medical Malpractice Claim

The negligence of a healthcare provider can leave you in poor health. Depending on the circumstances, you may be unable to return to work after suffering from medical malpractice, leaving you dependent on someone else for your long-term care. In other cases, you might require extensive surgery just to correct a healthcare provider's errors. No matter how your injuries present, you deserve compensation that will ease your recovery and protect your financial interests.

A medical malpractice lawyer can tell you what your case is worth, making sure that nothing goes unaddressed in your claim. In Maryland, you can be compensated for the following damages in a claim of medical malpractice:

• Economic damages: The monetary cost of your injuries, such as hospital expenses, surgery and rehabilitation, and any lost wages or income.
• Non-economic damages: The non-physical tolls of your injury, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment, or consequences for your mental health. In Maryland, there is a hard cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice claims that is increased every year.

At Serafini Law, we will sit down with you so we can understand your case in full, continually keeping you informed of your rights while negotiating a settlement or pursuing a lawsuit.

Proving a Medical Malpractice Claim

To demonstrate that you have suffered harm due to medical malpractice, you must prove four distinct elements. First, you have to show that the healthcare provider owed you a duty of care as part of a doctor-patient relationship. Second, the healthcare provider must have breached that duty of care, failing to live up to reasonable standards requiring them to administer proper treatment to you. Third, there has to be a direct link between the healthcare provider's negligence and your injury. Lastly, you need to show that the injury led to damages such as worsened health or financial losses.

At Serafini Law, our attorney will make sure your medical malpractice claim stands up to scrutiny by gathering relevant evidence on your behalf, including medical documentation and expert testimony. Hospitals and other medical institutions are often represented by teams of lawyers and insurance companies, so it is critical that you seek out strong legal representation before moving forward with your claim. You only have a few short years to file a medical malpractice claim, and Serafini Law will get your case moving before the statute of limitations expires.
