The law allows you to recover damages to compensate you for your injuries. This is teh way the law seeks to address the disruption to your life that the other driver caused. This means that the negligent driver must pay for the harm they caused. There are two forms of damages that can be awarded by a court:
1.Economic - reffering to such items as wage loss, bills incurred, etc.
2. non-economic- the pain suffering and loss of life's pleasures and enjoyment while injured
