What Types of Damages Can I Recover?
Damage is another word for compensation that is awarded to a claimant. Generally, there are two main types of damages available in a personal injury case, economic and non-economic. Economic damages compensations for financial losses such as, among other things, the inability to work and medical expenses. Non-economic damages, as the name suggests, compensates for more abstract sufferings such as pain and suffering. Given their abstract nature, non-economic damages are sometimes called “general damages.”
Additionally, punitive damages are available in some cases however they are not often awarded. Unlike economic and non-economic damages the purpose of punitive damages is to punish the negligent party and are generally, only awarded when the negligent party knew their actions would most likely cause harm and did so anyway.
