A:There are several types of economic and non-economic damages that may be sought in a medical malpractice case. Medical expenses, lost income, lost or diminished earning capacity, and other out-of-pocket expenses may be recovered. If the patient died, funeral and related expenses may also be awarded. An injured party may also seek restitution for non-economic losses related to pain and suffering. This can include past, present, and future suffering. Disfigurement and disability are also examples of non-economic losses which may be suffered by victims of medical malpractice. When the actions were gross or intentional, punitive damages may also be awarded to prevent the defendant and others from committing similar acts in the future.
