Economic damages are actual financial losses you have suffered due to injuries related to a motor vehicle accident. They include medical expenses, property damage, lost income, past, and future earnings, costs of repair or replacement, and other losses you have incurred from the accident. These damages can be proven by bills, invoices, records, receipts, and other verifiable evidence. Although recovering economic damages may seem like an easy process, it is not always the case. Most insurance companies quickly question how necessary and reasonable economic damages are in a personal injury claim. It takes the expertise of a skilled personal injury lawyer to prove how the losses are directly related to the accident.
