An injury victim’s eligibility to secure compensation basically depends on the nature of his or her injury and its ensuing consequences. In most cases, personal injury victims are entitled to receive compensation for their medical bills, any income they may have lost while recovering, and the emotional or psychological trauma they experienced as a result of the accident. Additionally, courts may choose to award punitive damages to the victim as a way of punishing the person or party who caused the accident.
