Economic Damages

Economic damages can include:

• Funeral expenses
• Property loss
• Loss of income potential
• Wage loss
• Medical expenses

Economic damages are measured based on the victim’s financial losses that result from an accident.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages include:

• Mental anguish
• Loss of guidance
• Loss of marital relations/companionship
• Humiliation
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• 

Non-economic damages can be more of a challenge to measure compared to economic damages, because they’re a measure of psychological and physical burdens brought on by the accident, making it an area of challenge and high opportunity. As an example, the defendant will be very likely to argue that the victim’s pain and suffering is only minor and because of this, the recoverable damages should also be low. If the victim is able to provide medical records, in addition to expert testimony that can support their argument that the physical pain and suffering of the victim’s post-accident condition is significant, then a personal injury attorney will be able to make a persuasive claim for higher damages.
