        "text": "In a medication error lawsuit, you may be able to seek compensation for various damages resulting from the error. This can include economic damages such as medical expenses (past and future), lost wages or earning capacity, and rehabilitation costs. Non-economic damages may cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, punitive damages might be awarded, though these are less common and reserved for instances of extreme negligence. The specific types and amounts of compensation depend on the unique circumstances and impact of your injury.",
