While no-fault benefits will provide for basic economic loss, including medical bills and lost wages up to $50,000, a personal injury lawsuit is intended to compensate injury victims for the pain and suffering caused by someone else’s negligence. You may also be entitled to economic loss above and beyond the basic economic loss provided for through your no-fault benefits. Some of these damages include:
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Lost income
Future medical expenses
Disability
Loss of enjoyment of life
Property damage
