Types of Damages For Personal Injury Lawsuits

Damages is a term used to refer to the compensation you may receive after suffering a personal injury. There are compensatory and non-compensatory damages; which types are pursued will often depend on the details of your claim.

Compensatory damages are those that can be measured as a monetary amount, such as lost wages; non-compensatory damages are those that are not so easily quantified, such as mental anguish.
