Loss of Earnings Compensation in Medical Negligence
Recovering loss of earnings due to medical negligence can be a complicated process and requires the expertise of a specialist solicitor.
Medical negligence and loss of earnings
If a patient suffers due to negligence in the course of their medical care, a successful compensation claim will address their pain and suffering.
One of the biggest problems to confront the victim of medical negligence, however, can be the loss of their ability to work.
It may be that due to the severity of their symptoms, they are no longer able to work at all. It may be that, due to the nature of their symptoms, some types of work are no longer accessible and they have to accept a lower-paid form of employment. It may also be that their symptoms are difficult to manage and they can only work part-time.
In many cases, the loss of income caused by the impact of medical negligence is significant. Especially if the patient has a long working life ahead of them, their financial losses can be considerable.
This can mean a dramatic reduction in quality of life and coming to terms with a very different future to the one which the patient had expected.
Where this unfortunate and distressing situation is found to have been, in part or in full, the result of negligent medical care, these financial losses, both past and future, would be incorporated into the claim.
Specialist medical negligence solicitors
Not surprisingly, the assessment of such losses, in addition to the other aspects of a claim, can be extremely complex.
If you are considering making a claim, it is essential to engage the services of a specialist medical negligence lawyer who will not only have extensive expertise in these complex and time-limited claims, but will also have access to the best medical experts to assess the validity of the claim and the impact of any negligence.
It is worth bearing in mind that loss of income is not the only aspect of a successful claim. If the patient requires specialist care, equipment or household alterations, the associated costs would also be included in the claim insofar as they have been caused by the negligence.
