In determining their duty to patients, juries take into account community standards and the expectations of professionals within their field of practice. Their legal duty is not to perform every surgery perfectly, but to exercise reasonable care in protecting the patient from unreasonable harm. Patients who can demonstrate worsened condition caused by negligence are entitled to several forms of damages, including present and future medical costs, lost income, and damages for pain and suffering. In cases involving wrongful death or permanent disability, West Virginia law generally limits noneconomic damages to $500,000.
