Factors Influencing the Settlement Amount
Several elements come into play when determining the amount of a medical malpractice settlement. The severity of the injury suffered by the victim plays a significant role. More severe injuries typically demand higher compensation due to the longer recovery period, ongoing medical treatment, and potential long-term effects on quality of life. Additionally, the degree of negligence exhibited by the medical professional can influence the settlement sum. This includes factors such as whether the practitioner deviated from accepted medical standards and the impact of that deviation on the patient’s health.
