How Much is an Illinois Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Worth? (Medical Malpractice Settlements & Verdicts)
If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, you are likely looking for information on what you can expect in terms of an outcome in terms of a settlement or verdict (if the case goes to trial).
Unfortunately, unlike other types of personal injury cases that tend to have a formulaic approach to settlement, medical negligence cases tend to very fact specific and the outcome is dependent on the circumstance of the injured party.
Also, impacting the value of these cases is the insurance company for the doctor and / or hospital involved. Typically, many medical institutions are 'self-insured' meaning a settlement is paid directly by the facility as opposed to an insurance carrier.
In Illinois medical malpractice settlements are comprised of economic and non-economic damages such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Disability
- Loss of emotional and financial support in the case of wrongful death
Should you have questions about the value of your medical malpractice claim, we always invite you to contact our law firm where you can get a free consultation with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer about your situation.
