What kinds of compensation/damages are available for injuries?

Damages in personal injury cases are either economic or non-economic. Economic damages refer to financial losses like:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Property damages

Non-economic damages include:

  • Psychological trauma
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Mental anguish

While economic damages are easy to calculate, non-economic damages can be difficult to define and value. An experienced injury lawyer from Elmm Law Group can help determine what damages may be available to you and how to value them.
