Mary Smith sues her doctor for malpractice. The jury belives that he doctor was guilty of malpractice however they don't beleive Mary was affected Mary is most likley to get what kind of damages?

A.Pain and suffering
B.Nominal
C. Compensatory

I said C

I think you're right -- enough to compensate for her costs.

According to this article, I believe she'd be awarded nominal damages because the jury doesn't believe that Mary was injured.

To determine the correct answer, let's break down the given information and understand the different types of damages that can be awarded in a malpractice lawsuit.

In a medical malpractice case, damages are the compensation awarded to the plaintiff for the harm they have suffered due to the negligence of the doctor. There are generally three types of damages that can be awarded:
1. Compensatory Damages: These damages are designed to compensate the plaintiff for any losses they have suffered as a result of the malpractice. Compensatory damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, and other financial losses directly related to the malpractice.
2. Pain and Suffering Damages: These damages are intended to compensate the plaintiff for the physical and emotional pain they have endured due to the malpractice. They cover intangible harms such as physical pain, mental anguish, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
3. Nominal Damages: Nominal damages are a small symbolic amount awarded when the plaintiff's rights have been violated, but no actual harm or significant loss has occurred.

Now, in the given scenario, the jury believes that the doctor was guilty of malpractice, but they don't believe that Mary was affected. This means that Mary has not suffered any actual harm or significant loss due to the malpractice. In such a case, it is unlikely that she would be eligible for compensatory damages (Option C) because there are no specific losses to compensate for.

Therefore, the most likely type of damages that Mary would receive in this scenario is nominal damages (Option B). These damages would be a small symbolic amount awarded to acknowledge that her rights were violated, even though she did not suffer any actual harm.

Based on this analysis, your answer of Option B (Nominal) seems to be correct.
