Pain and suffering

This includes your base pay commissions, bonuses as well as benefits for employees, pay raises, and retirement fund contributions. Your attorney will examine your pay stubs and previous pay statements to determine your average earnings before the injury, and then subtract out your absence from work to calculate your total lost wages. Your attorney can also help you determine your future loss of earnings using a present value calculation.

For instance, surgical errors resulting in amputations, complications during obstetrics that cause infant brain damage and death, as well as anesthesia errors leading to comas may all warrant high-value settlements. In certain instances punitive damages could be offered to punish bad behavior.
Damages for future medical treatment
In a medical negligence case the plaintiff may pursue economic or non-economic damages. The first is based on quantifiable losses, such as the past or future medical costs. The latter are more difficult to quantify and encompass pain and suffering, as well as loss of enjoyment of life. In a medical negligence lawsuit the jury will listen to expert testimony in order to evaluate the damages of these kinds.
Past medical expenses are relatively easy to prove by submitting actual bills from the person who was injured's health medical providers. For future expenses, the lawyer for the plaintiff will submit medical evidence that proves what treatments are likely to be required in the future and how much the treatments cost today. The amount of medical treatment needed could be influenced by the age of the victim at the time of the incident.
Damages for future lost wages can be proven by showing the impact of the injury on the patient's capacity to work and earning capacity in the future. This can be proven by expert witness testimony or by examining similar cases from the past.
Pain and suffering is a umbrella term that encompasses the mental and physical discomfort and suffering which patients suffer because of medical negligence.
