The recoverable compensation in a Western PA brain injury case includes economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are any expenditures that can be counted or quantified, such as past and future wage loss and medical expenses. These damages also include bills that were not covered by insurance, any out-of-pocket expenses, and required modifications to a victim’s home.
Non-economic damages include the intangible losses that are not easily quantified. This could include the pain and suffering experienced by a TBI victim. These kinds of damages are especially complex and require a significant amount of analysis. There are different strategies for calculating non-economic damages that an experienced TBI attorney could implement to ensure the appropriate compensation.
