Damages: Types of compensation in vehicle accident cases

When calculating the amount of compensation to pursue, our firm calls on professional resources such as medical and financial experts. The damages in a personal injury case are categorized as economic, non-economic, and punitive damages, which are as follows:

Economic damages

These damages are the actual financial losses associated with the injuries sustained, including medical bills, lost wages (both current and estimated for the future), and all other financial losses that resulted from the injuries. Simply put, economic damages are tangible losses with a calculable total.

Non-economic damages

These damages are often the largest portion of a settlement or jury verdict. They are the more personal losses, including emotional anguish, pain, and suffering, loss of quality of life, loss of consortium, the agony of living with impairments, disabilities, or disfiguring injuries, and other personal losses.

Punitive damages

In rare cases, punitive damages may be pursued and awarded to the injured party. These damages (also called exemplary damages) are intended to punish a party for acts of gross negligence, malice, or fraud.
