Seven-figure settlements typically involve serious permanent injuries or deaths that result from extreme medical negligence. Settlements with high value may be granted for, among other things, surgical errors which cause amputations, or brain damage to infants or mothers as well as anesthesia mistakes that cause comas. In certain situations the punitive damages might be offered to punish bad behavior.
Damages to future medical treatment

Pain and suffering is an umbrella term that encompasses the mental and physical distress and discomfort which patients suffer because of medical negligence. This kind of claim is generally based on testimony from the victim and other witnesses, as well as evidence such as videos, photographs and written reports.
