What Are Recoverable Damages in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
“Damages” refer to the types of recoverable compensation available in a personal injury claim. The type and amount will vary depending on the unique circumstances of the case. There are two primary types of damages:
- Economic damages. These compensate the victim for direct financial losses that can be monetarily quantified, such as property damage, medical bills, treatment costs, lost wages, and lost earning capacity.
- Non-economic damages. These compensate the victim for subjective, non-monetary losses, such as loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and permanent scarring and disfigurement.
In cases involving especially egregious misconduct, the court may also award punitive damages. Unlike economic and non-economic damages, punitive damages are granted solely to punish the defendant and deter similar misconduct in the future.

Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Claim
Plaintiffs bear the burden of proof in personal injury lawsuits, meaning that you are responsible for proving liability by a preponderance of the evidence. In other words, you must show that the defendant’s negligence “more likely than not” caused your injuries. This is why it’s so crucial to have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side.
Our firm can help you meet the standard of proof in your case by establishing the following key elements:
- Duty of care. The defendant owed you a duty of care, such as following traffic laws or maintaining safe premises for guests or patrons.
- Breach of duty. The defendant breached their duty by acting negligently, such as driving while drunk or failing to address known hazards at their place of business.
- Causation. The defendant’s negligence directly caused the accident and your resulting injuries.
- Damages. You suffered compensatory harm or damages as a result of the defendant’s breach.
