UPenn Hospital Medical Malpractice Lawyer
While modern medicine is certainly a thing to marvel at when it goes right, the unfortunate reality is that doctors and hospitals make more mistakes than we, as a society, are aware of. Countless lives are lost because of medical negligence, and more still end up suffering long term pain, immobility, and suffering due to delayed diagnosis, botched surgical procedures, birth defects, and prescription medication errors. Just as frustrating is the unapologetic response that all healthcare providers give when confronted by their mistakes—mistakes they deny in order to avoid lawsuits. If you are a victim of medical malpractice and were harmed at UPenn Hospital, we can uncover these medical errors by filing a claim. Our UPenn Hospital medical malpractice lawyer at The Villari Firm, PLLC knows how to get results, and we are ready to start working for you.
What Damages Did You Suffer From Your UPenn Hospital Medical Malpractice Case?
If you are like most people, you probably want to know how much your case is worth. The answer to that question, however, is not possible until an attorney has time to review all of the facts of your case. Another reason why it is likely impossible to give you an accurate estimate is that unless significant time has passed since the date of your injury, we do not yet know what your recovery will be, and a significant portion of a plaintiff’s damages are tied to their projected outcome. However, the type of damages that you may be entitled to include the following:
- Medical bills
- Future medical expenses
- Lost income while you were in the hospital or recovering from your injuries/illness
- Lost earning capacity due to long term disability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of joy of life
If you are filing on behalf of a loved one who lost their life due to medical malpractice, you may also be entitled to loss of consortium (loss of companionship), your own emotional distress, loss of lifetime earnings, and funeral and burial expenses.
