What are damages in a medical malpractice case?

Scott Parsons explains that damages in a medical malpractice case are what you as the client have suffered as a result of the doctor's negligence. It can include pain and suffering, lost wages, past and future wages, past and future medical expenses. In a wrongful death case that would include damages to the person who died, and "per quod" claims for a spouse, such as loss of consortium and household services.
