Families are understandably angry when someone else’s carelessness causes a lifelong injury to their child. They want to find a way to make that person pay. One way to do this is to seek punitive damages, which can increase your verdict and the amount of money that you are due. However, punitive damages are not common. You would need to show that the doctor did something very wrong and that the nature of the act would make the jury want to send a message. Nonetheless, punitive damages are awarded more often in medical malpractice cases than in other personal injury cases. There is nothing to stop you from seeking punitive damages. In the end, the court will decide.
