What kind of damages may a victim of medical malpractice recover in a lawsuit?
Generally, a medical malpractice claim includes compensation for pain and suffering, payment of medical expenses, and reimbursement for any past, present, or future economic loss. Alaska law limits non-economic damages to $400,000 regardless the severity of injury or death and limits non-economic damages to $250,000 if the injury is not significant or did not result in death.
