After you are injured and are in the process of healing, one of the most pressing questions you will have is what types of compensation you may be able to recover – and how much compensation – if you pursue a personal injury claim. While the amount of damages that you are able to recover will depend upon the specifics of your case and the value of your losses, some of the most common recoverable damages types include:
In order to recover any of the damage types listed above, a plaintiff in a personal injury suit must prove that their injuries and losses would not have been incurred but for the negligence of the defendant. Negligence refers to the failure to exercise a reasonable degree of care that person or reasonable prudence would, and can include everything from violations of the law, like drinking and driving, to acts of irresponsibility, such as failing to clean up a spill in a reasonable amount of time.
