Calculating Damages in Personal Injury Cases

Compensation in injury cases includes more than just medical bills. Here’s how damages are calculated to reflect your total losses.

1. Economic Damages

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost income and reduced earning ability
  • Property damage

2. Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

3. Punitive Damages

In rare cases, the court may award extra damages to punish the wrongdoer — especially for reckless or intentional harm.

Each case is unique. Your attorney will calculate damages using bills, expert opinions, and legal standards.
