In certain cases the court may award punitive damages awarded to the plaintiff as a punishment for the malpractice of the doctor. These are extremely rare, as doctors must have acted recklessly or intent to be awarded punitive damages.
The law requires that a person who claims medical malpractice must prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was an obligation of care on the part of the doctor; (2) the doctor breached this duty by deviating from the established standards of practice; (3) as a result of the doctor's lapse the victim was injured; and (4) the harm can be quantified in terms of an amount in dollars. Additionally the person who was injured must make a claim within the time limit which varies according to the state.
The law recognizes that medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and costly to resolve, particularly if they are based on complicated issues such as proximate causes or foreseeability. Its goal is to offer victims the justice they deserve without allowing opportunistic or frivolous lawsuits to slow down courts. It also aims to reduce costs by making sure that all defendants take responsibility for the success of a case (joint-and-several liability) as well as limit the amount the plaintiff could recover if the other defendants are unable to pay ("damage cap") and also stopping doctors from practicing defensive medical, which requires them to change their treatment plans as a response to threats or malpractice lawsuits.
