Generally defined, medical malpractice is a claim of liability by the injured person against a doctor, clinic, hospital or nurse representing a healthcare facility. The claim can be for misdiagnosis, mistreatment, wrongful act or additional events.
Medical Malpractice claims are especially appropriate for structured settlements because life expectancy, future medical expenses and care requirements are often very significant concerns. In consideration of these critical factors, a structured settlement can, through a needs assessment of living and medical expenses, provide payments for life, along with important peace of mind.
Periodic payments can be designed to meet future medical and economic needs, offer creative estate planning possibilities, protect assets from early dissipation and be integrated with public benefit programs.
