You may be able to take legal action for medical malpractice if negligent medical care from a doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, pharmacist, or another health care professional left you hurt.

Making a recovery of compensation for your injuries could be an important part of moving forward after this trauma.

Types of Compensation Our New Orleans Medical Malpractice Lawyers Can Help You Claim

Medical malpractice cases in Louisiana can bring two major types of damages, or compensation, for victims:

• Economic damages, which means costs you can tally, such as medical bills, other expenses caused by your medical situation, and lost income when your injury hindered your ability to work.

• Non-economic damages, which are things that are hard to put a price tag on but cost you because they damage your ability to enjoy life. This can include pain and suffering, emotional distress, damage to relationships and more.

Louisiana law puts a limit on how much you can claim against a medical professional at $500,000.

But to pay for your medical expenses, including future expenses you will have thanks to your medical malpractice injury, you can pursue additional compensation above that limit.
