The three types of damages in a personal injury claim are:
General damages: These damages provide compensation for non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering and long-term emotional distress.
Special damages: These damages provide compensation for direct financial loss, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
Punitive damages: These damages are awarded to the victim as a way of punishing the at-fault person for their extremely negligent or reckless behavior.
The details of your personal injury case will determine which of the three (3) types of damages you can seek, and how much money you can expect to receive for each type.
