Different types of personal injury damages
Personal injury victims have the right to claim compensation for their injuries, property damage, and other losses. You may be eligible for compensation called "damages."
There are two types of personal injury damages: punitive and compensatory. Personal injury victims often recover compensatory damages. These usually fall under general or special damages.
Special Damages
Special damages (also known as economic damages) are meant to compensate injury victims for any expenses they have incurred because of the accident that caused them to be hurt. These expenses are called special damages.
- Earnings loss
- Future earning capacity to be reduced
- Hospital bills
- Prescription medication prices
- Future medical care costs
- Household expenses
- Rehabilitation, physical therapy, and other recovery costs
- Property damage
Special damages are the out-of-pocket expenses that result from an accident that results in injury. Even though two victims may be affected by the same accident, the special damages they receive will vary depending on how severe their injuries are and what treatment is required to heal.
General Damages
Non-economic damages are also called general damages. They compensate victims of injury for any non-monetary losses resulting from their injuries. General damages are more difficult to assess without the use of invoices or bills. This is why a personal injury attorney may be of assistance.
These general damages are:
- Emotional distress
- Emotional trauma
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment in life
- Loss of companionship or consortium
