The damages available to you as a patient who was harmed by medical malpractice should help you recover without destroying your finances. To begin, you should be repaid any costs you have paid yourself for medical treatments. You should also be paid for any future medical treatments that will become necessary to ensure that your injury or illness does not worsen. The wages you cannot earn should be provided by the defendants, too. Another major portion of your recovery will account for non-economic damages, too, like the pain, suffering, and hardships you will endure because of new disabilities.
