If a medical professional’s negligence causes you to sustain physical injuries, you may have a meritorious medical malpractice claim against that professional or his or her employer. Medical malpractice damages often include current and future medical expenses , economic losses and damage, lost earning capacity , pain and suffering and loss of consortium damages .
Pain and suffering damages in a medical malpractice claim will be limited to $500,000.00 under Massachusetts law unless:
You have suffered a serious loss of the use of a bodily function,
You have suffered a serious disfigurement or scaring, OR
You have some other special circumstances or conditions that a judge believes should allow you to bypass the $500,000.00 limit.
Your monetary damages in a medical malpractice action for medical expenses incurred treating any injuries resulting from medical malpractice negligence will be reduced by any payments you received – from private health insurance or otherwise – to compensate you for those expenses.
Premiums that you paid to receive such benefits, however, will be added back in to your recoverable damages figure.
As is the case with Massachusetts wrongful death claims , medical malpractice money damages can be significant and can often be in the millions of dollars, depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the case.
