Types of Damages in a Personal Injury Case

There are many types of personal injury cases, ranging from car accidents to dog bites, assault and battery, and other injuries. Regardless of how the injury was caused, damages are calculated for all injury cases in much the same way. Understanding the following types of personal injury compensatory damages may help you calculate a rough estimate of the injury compensation to which you may be entitled:

1. Economic Damages
These damages compensate a victim for non-monetary damages incurred in a personal injury lawsuit. They are also called non-economic damages because they address the intangible harm that is generally sustained in an injury, including:

• Pain and suffering. Physical and emotional stress caused by an injury is referred to as pain and suffering. We help clients collect medical records and other documentation that can be used to demonstrate the extent of their suffering.
• Mental anguish. Things such as grief, significant disappointment, extreme public humiliation, despair, shame, and indignation are considered forms of mental anguish. If you are experiencing psychological ramifications from an injury, we can refer you to a medical expert who can help articulate your mental condition to a jury.
• Loss of consortium or support. After a severe injury, many victims are unable to provide the same level of emotional and physical support to their families. While many tasks may be difficult to quantify, we help clients assemble evidence that can help put a price on their support deficits.
• Loss of companionship. Loss of companionship focuses on the emotional damages that a relationship sustains after an individual is injured or killed. This can include loss of daily conversation, sharing memories, intimacy, benefits of a relationship, among others. It can be challenging to demonstrate a certain level of companionship, however, attorney Mark Hurt has a track record of success in proving damages resulting from the loss of a stable and loving relationship.

2. Special Compensatory Damages
Special damages compensate for monetary loss and expenses in a personal injury lawsuit. They vary from one party to the next and cover any direct costs or losses related to an injury. Special damages include:

• Lost Income
• Loss of future earnings
• Medical bills
• Cost of future medical care
• Household and services expenses (such as childcare, housekeeping, and transportation)
• Out-of-pocket expenses (such as medications, transportation, and medical appointments)

The total of all these costs is the foundation of personal injury compensation calculations. Since there are many things to consider, hiring a Blountville personal injury lawyer is critical so that you do not undervalue your claim.

3. Wrongful Death Compensatory Damages
A wrongful death claim provides damages for a victim’s loved ones and family. These can include:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Cost of pre-death medical bills
• The emotional distress of family and loved ones
• Loss of financial contributions and companionship

4. Punitive Damages
A court will only award punitive damages when a defendant’s wrongful behavior was particularly egregious and reckless, as they are intended to punish an individual for these types of intentional acts. These include behavior, such as assault, battery, or fraud (or defective products).
