Overview of Medical Malpractice Claims in York
Surprisingly, most serious medical malpractice cases occur in hospitals. Common medical negligence claims include birth injuries, surgical mistakes, and delayed ER treatment at UPMC Memorial. You may have a claim against the negligent doctor, nurse, or healthcare facility if a medical professional did not provide adequate care according to accepted medical standards.
Financial Damages Available in Healthcare Negligence Cases
If you suffered from a new or worsening injury or illness at a Medical Facility in York, including UPMC Memorial, you may be entitled to financial compensation for the following:
Medical Expenses
Eligible medical malpractice claimants may demand the value of all necessary medical treatment related to the malpractice, including:

At Marzella & Associates, we work with expert medical witnesses and economists to calculate the value of your future medical needs. These reports allow our dedicated medical negligence litigations to demand fair settlements from malpractice insurers and liable medical facilities while you recover from your injuries.
Lost Earnings and Benefits
Our attorneys will also demand compensation for lost income, including career-ending injuries and workplace benefits. These awards can include damages for the value of lost health insurance, retirement contributions, promotions, and earning capacity.
Pain and Suffering
Pennsylvania caps pain and suffering damages in medical malpractice cases. This means we can demand full damages from negligent York hospitals and doctors for your physical pain, emotional suffering, and lost enjoyment of life. We can even request compensation for your spouse and children.
If the malpractice was severe, such as in ‘never event’ cases where doctors operate while intoxicated, we can help you obtain punitive damages from the offending doctor.
Options for Recovering Medical Malpractice Damages in Pennsylvania
Most viable medical negligence cases in York settle with the liable medical malpractice insurer, which providers and facilities must carry under Pennsylvania law. If your damages exceed insurance limits, our lawyers can also demand compensation from Pennsylvania’s malpractice insurance fund or wealthy doctors.
