You May Be Entitled to Millions What to Know About Medical Malpractice Under Virginia Law
Virginia sets caps on the damages in medical malpractice claims, but they are quite high. For example, in any medical malpractice claim where the incident occurred from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, the victim can obtain as much as $2.6 million in compensatory damages. This maximum raises by $50k every year.
Compensatory damages refers to the standard form of compensation awarded to medical malpractice victims for medical bills, lost wages, and more. When medical malpractice is particularly egregious, punitive damages of up to $350,000 may also be awarded. Cases that warrant an award of punitive damages include physicians performing unnecessary surgery to increase their profits and nursing homes that refuse to hire sufficient staff to care for their patients.

Misdiagnosis
If you or a loved one suffered a heart attack and went to the ER with complaints of chest pain, but were misdiagnosed with and treated for gastrointestinal problems, you could have a case for medical malpractice.
Failure to Diagnose
A doctor can be found liable for medical practice if a patient presented to them with lumps or growths that are consistent with certain types of cancer, but the doctor failed to diagnose the cancer in a timely manner.
Surgical Error
There are many types of surgical errors that can be classified as medical malpractice. These include operating on the wrong side of the body, leaving surgical instruments in the body, or removing healthy organs.
Birth Injury
An example of medical malpractice causing birth injury is if medical professionals failed to act in a timely manner and delayed a C-section after detecting vital signs that should have immediately led to the procedure.
Ask Us About a Free Consultation to Determine If You Have a Case
You do not have a case just because a medical treatment didn't lead to perfect results.
A medical malpractice case is a case against a health care provider who failed to comply with the "standard of care." In a Virginia medical malpractice claim, the standard of care is what a reasonable doctor, nurse, pharmacist, hospital, nursing home, or other care provider would have done under similar circumstances.
A healthcare provider who fails to comply with the standard of care is negligent. If this negligence led to personal injury or wrongful death, you can file a medical malpractice lawsuit to sue the provider for compensation.
Our medical malpractice attorney can evaluate your case during a free consultation at our Richmond, VA, personal injury law office.
