Critical and grave harms might also remove a claimant from the workplace altogether or limit their ability to perform their career of choice. A plaintiff may seek to recover these lost earnings, as well.
In addition to medical bills and lost income, traumatically injured plaintiffs might also pursue non-economic damages. Because of the major impact that a catastrophic injury makes on one’s life, a claimant may request that a negligent defendant pay damages for loss of enjoyment of life and mental anguish.
