What Can You Recover as Damages in Your Personal Injury Lawsuit?

There are many damages that you may recover in your personal injury lawsuit. The two main kinds of damages you may receive in your lawsuit include compensatory damages and punitive damages.

Compensatory damages (also called actual damages) are simply in place to compensate you and indirect victims of your injury (such as your spouse) for injuries, which you sustained in an accident as they affect you economically. Punitive damages (also known as exemplary damages), however, are meant to punish the perpetrator of your accident so that the perpetrator will suffer economically and change his or her malevolent behavior.

Types of compensatory damages (actual or estimated values) may include the following.

Auto damage and rental car expenses
Disfigurement
Emotional distress or trauma
Interest due from money withheld
Loss of affection (awarded your spouse)
Loss of lifes pleasures
Loss of spouses contribution to household
Loss of wages or income, including overtime wages and earned sick and/or vacation time
Loss or impairment of earning capacity
Medical bills
Mental disability or impairment
Pain and suffering, including depression, fear, grief, humiliation and/or nervousness
Physical disability
Property damage (repair or replacement)

It is important to include any and all types of damages available to you when you file your lawsuit because otherwise you may lose your ability to claim those damages later.
