        "text": "In a successful hospital negligence case, you may be able to recover various types of damages. These typically include economic damages, such as medical expenses (past and future), lost wages (past and future earning capacity), and costs for rehabilitation or long-term care. Non-economic damages can also be awarded for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement. In some rare cases involving extreme misconduct, punitive damages might be awarded to punish the negligent party. The specific types and amounts of damages depend on the unique circumstances and impact of the negligence on your life.",
