There is no normal or set amount in recovering damages from medical malpractice. Every case and injury is different. There are many nuances that determine a reasonable settlement amount, such as the impact the injury has on earning capacity, the impact the injury has on life functions, how the jury perceives the injured party, and the atmosphere in the geographic area concerning medical malpractice. Only a medical malpractice attorney can give you an idea of what type of settlement you might be entitled to.
