Economic Damages

Economic damages are those intended to compensate you for present and future lost monetary expenses. Medical bills, lost wages, lost future earning capacity, and out-of-pocket expenses, such as maintenance services you can no longer perform on your own, are all classified as economic damages.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are not tangible losses like economic damages. Compensation for pain and suffering, disfigurement, embarrassment and humiliation, and loss of enjoyment of life are the types of damages that fall under the non-economic category.

Courts often consider factors such as the severity of the injury, the permanency of the injury, the duration and extent of the party’s pain and suffering, and the party’s age and life circumstance, among others, to determine the number of noneconomic damages recoverable for individual situations.

Wrongful Death Damages

Wrongful death damages are those that can be recovered by the decedent’s surviving family members, such as a spouse, child or parent. Types of recoverable damages in a wrongful death lawsuit include medical, funeral and estate expenses, loss of future support and/or clothing, education, shelter and food contributions of the decedent, among others.

Survival Damages

Survival damages are those that can be recovered by the surviving spouse, child or parent on behalf of a deceased family member. Types of survival damages that can be recovered include the loved one’s conscious pain and suffering prior to death and the loved one’s lost earnings, among other types.

Our Approach

BIG NUMBERS AND DOLLAR SIGNS CAN’T TELL YOU WHETHER A LAW FIRM IS RIGHT FOR YOU

When you’re choosing an advocate to fight for your rights, the first question you want to ask is, “Does this attorney understand someone like me?” and “Have they had success in handling a case like mine?”
