Medical malpractice lawsuits might be about more than just money

On behalf of Nield Law Group, APC | Nov 9, 2017 | Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases can involve patients who required very extensive care to address the original issue that wasn’t treated and to try to correct or treat the issue caused by the malpractice. In California, there is a medical malpractice cap that has been in place for decades. This means that patients might not be able to recover the full extent of the damages they suffered because of the issue caused by medical professionals.

We understand that you might feel discouraged by the cap, but there are still some points that you need to consider if you are thinking about filing a claim for medical malpractice. You should think about the goal of your case.

One goal that you have might be to recover the money you are out of. This is understandable. In some cases, you might have to settle for less than your actual costs due to the cap.

Another goal that you might have is to hold the doctor accountable for the issues that caused your injuries. This is more important to some people than actually getting money. A medical malpractice lawsuit is something that will most certainly let the impacted doctors know that you aren’t going to stand idly by while they harm people.

You might also want to send a message to other doctors that they don’t need to make the same errors. This could be another impact of your lawsuit.

We know that you probably want to know what a malpractice lawsuit entails and what the outcomes might be for you. We can help you look into these so that you can make an informed decision about what to do.
