Do not know the answer for an average. For medical malpractice in California, the MAXIMUM--no matter what, is $250,000, and that amount has not changed since 1976.

There is no 'average'. You'd get whatever award the jury thinks is 'just' and 'fair', based upon all the facts and issues, up to a maximum of $250k limit under the law.
