A medical malpractice is a claim of negligence committed by a professional health care provider, such as a doctor, nurse, dentist, technician, hospital, hospital worker, or pharmaceutical company.

What Compensation is Available in a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?

Hastings Law Firm, Medical Malpractice Lawyers | Mar 5, 2022

Patients who have suffered an injury due to medical malpractice are eligible to receive three different types of damages: General damages, compensation for the suffering caused by the malpractice such as physical or mental pain, loss of enjoyment of life, or loss of consortium. Special damages, damages that are generally expenses linked to the medical malpractice case such as medical bills and reimbursement for lost income due to time missed at work. Punitive damages, damages that are specifically for the punishment of a professional health care provider for conduct that is negligent. General and special damages are more common and obtainable in a medical malpractice case, while punitive damages are rare and more difficult to be awarded. In the state of Texas tort reform laws limit the maximum amount of compensation to $250,000 per provider/facility involved, up to a max of three total defendants ($750,000). Some medical malpractice cases fall outside negligence and are not limit by these laws.
