What Damages Can You Recover With a Personal Injury Claim?

With personal injury claims, plaintiffs can seek economic, non-economic, and even punitive damages. Below, we’ll outline the differences among each, so you know what to expect.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are designed to compensate a victim for their financial losses. These losses can be clearly calculated or tracked. Often these losses are highlighted by medical bills, receipts, invoices, and other documents that show a monetary loss. Economic damages can be awarded for the following:

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Property damage
  • Loss of income and other wages
  • Reduced earning capacity

Non-Economic Damages

Plaintiffs can also collect on non-economic damages – losses that are difficult to measure via monetary value. Non-economic damages can include but are not limited to the following:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment in life
  • Physical disfigurement or impairment
  • Loss of companionship

Punitive Damages

In certain circumstances, you may be able to claim punitive damages when seeking a personal injury claim.

Unlike economic and non-economic damages, which are designed to compensate plaintiffs for their pain and suffering, punitive damages are not awarded as a means for compensation as a result of an injury. Rather, they are awarded to punish the defendant for their reckless or negligent behavior.

Punitive damages are also designed to send a message to other parties that such negligent behavior will not be tolerated.
