Medical Maplractice Verdicts

If you have suffered medical injuries that caused you to have additional medical expenses, lose wages, and suffer pain and anxiety over the short term or the long term, you may be wondering if you have a right to receive compensation from a negligent medical provider. These are difficult and complex cases that require the expertise of an experienced medical malpractice attorney. And if there is negligence involved, you may be entitled to compensation. However, you must realize that not all medical malpractice claims end in large monetary awards to the plaintiff. In fact, more than 90% of all medical malpractice cases are settled out of court, which generally means smaller monetary awards. While many medical malpractice verdicts do reach a million dollars or more, the most recent statistics say that the average settlement was over $400,000, but that has to pay attorney's fees as well as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and any other expense from the injury or loss.

Fast Facts
