Special and general damages are the two main types of damages used to value your case. Damages that have a more definitive value, like your medical bills and property damage, are called special damages. General damages are the invisible hurt you’ve suffered and the things that are more subjective. Usually, general damages are more subjective and compensate you for your pain and suffering. These damages vary from case to case depending on your unique situation. This is one of the reasons why negotiation is so important to resolve a case, and why you need to contact an experienced and aggressive personal injury attorney to negotiate for you.
