A WORD ABOUT DAMAGES
Personal injury cases, as different as they may be in their origin, all share a common goal: the recovery of damages. Judges often instruct at the end of a trial that “damages are awarded as compensation for an injury done.” The types of damages which may be recovered vary from case to case, but generally, the following types of damages can be recovered: special damages and general damages.
Special Damages typically refer to property damage, medical expenses, and lost wages. General Damages include pain and suffering, both physical and mental. In some situations, damages can be awarded for future lost income or future medical expense.
In certain instances, the imposition of Punitive, or Exemplary, Damages is awarded. Such damages are awarded to punish persons or corporations at such a level to deter them from repeating the same or similar conduct in the future. Generally, punitive damages are not awarded for mere, or even gross, negligence; rather, they are awarded only where conduct is willful or wanton, or shows a conscious disregard for the consequences.
Wrongful Death cases involve different types of damages particular to such cases. There are specific laws which govern the types of damages recoverable in wrongful death cases, as well as the persons who have the right to recover such damages.
