Most medical malpractice cases settle on average for around $180,000 according to the National Library of Medicine. However, medical malpractice claims can and very often do settle for much higher amounts. The final settlement amount can depend on the facts of the case and the nature of the injuries sustained by the plaintiff.
Most medical malpractice cases never make it to trial. When there is substantial evidence and or serious injury, most plaintiffs and defendants will agree to settle outside of court. While this might seem like a good thing, or an easier option, reaching a settlement can often involve long periods of negotiation between the parties.
While many medical malpractice cases settle outside of court, this does not mean they all do or should. When cases are not settled and parties cannot reach an agreement, they are usually resolved by a jury. Jury verdicts have been shown to lead to higher settlement amounts, but they also involve much higher risk, such as losing and being forced to walk away with nothing. Astonishingly, physicians have been shown to win upwards of 80% of medical malpractice jury trials according to the National Library of Medicine.
What is the Cap on Medical Malpractice in Pennsylvania?
The state of Pennsylvania does not cap the total amount of compensatory damages that you can recover in medical malpractice lawsuits. You are able to recover full compensation for the economic and non-economic losses you suffered due to malpractice.
However, there is a cap on the total amount of punitive damages that can be recovered in a medical malpractice lawsuit in Pennsylvania. When they are awarded, they are awarded in addition to the compensatory damages a plaintiff recovers.
All cases are unique and an experienced lawyer can help you navigate through the details and particularities of your case. While settlement amounts can vary, a good lawyer will always be motivated by the highest settlement possible for their client.

“What should I do if I experience health problems?”
First, seek medical treatment if you are developing health symptoms. Second, consider getting a baseline of your entire health, like blood tests and organ function, in case anything changes. And there are other steps you can take to improve your chances of securing compensation, like preserving evidence. Take photographs or videos of anything involved that you think led to your injury.
It is also important to be careful about what you sign or what you say to companies involved in your injury. They are trying to limit their liability and may try to get you to sign documents or make statements that hurt your case. To ensure your rights are protected in your state consult with an experienced attorney first.
