What Damages Can I Recover in a California Medical Malpractice Claim?

Victims of medical malpractice in California can recover both economic and non-economic damages. In rare cases, punitive damages might also be awarded to punish egregious misconduct.

Economic damages compensate for measurable financial losses, such as medical bills and lost wages. Non-economic damages cover more personal losses, such as pain and suffering and emotional trauma.

California law currently limits non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases to $470,000 for injuries and $650,000 for cases involving wrongful death, increasing incrementally in future years under Assembly Bill 35. However, there is no cap on economic damages.
