Types of Different Damages Awarded in Personal Injury Lawsuits
Sunday, April 25, 2010 3:39Personal Injury accidents are very common and can happen to anyone at any time. If you get involved into a personal injury accident and get injured as a result of it, you can have a personal injury claim. If the accident happened due to the negligence of someone else, you might file a personal injury compensation claim and get compensated for the damages caused by the accident. You must be compensated for the physical, mental, and financial pain caused by the accident. Personal injury laws are supposed to protect the injured victims and make the responsible ones to pay for the recklessness and carelessness that caused the accident.
Many types of damages can be claimed in the compensation claim. These damages might include but not limited to property damages, medical bills, hospital bills, loss of income and wages for present and future, pain and suffering, loss of ability to enjoy life, loss of companionship (in case of death) etc. These damages are defined as compensatory damages. These damages are given to the injured victims who get hurt in the accident. In some cases the damages are awarded to the family of the victims if the victim died in the accident. If victim shares the partial responsibility of the accident, the compensation will be reduced.
The second type of damages is general damages. These damages permit the victims to be compensated for the non-monetary and monetary damages. The non-monetary aspects can include pain and suffering, impaired ability to live as you did before your accident, loss of a loved one and loss of reputation. It is very difficult to calculate the monetary value of these losses. If loss of ability to enjoy life is included in the damages sought in the compensation claims, it is called hedonic damages. Hedonic damages are hard to evaluate because the law cannot define or calculate the value of life and due to the loss of ability to enjoy life can’t be calculated.
Another type of damages is special damages which are easier to calculate. Special damages include monetary expenses which you bear because of the injury sustained from the accident. Some of the special damages are lost wages and cost of repairing damaged property. These expenses or losses may be claimed in the special damages. The injured victims should keep all the bills, so the affected individual can claim them in the special damages.
Toronto Personal Injury lawyer will help explain different types of damages that can be claimed in an accident. A Personal Injury Lawyer can define the type of your damage and the corresponding. In a case where it’s important to file for a compensation claim, you don’t have to dig into details of different types of damages that may be claimed in the compensation claim. The types of damages that can be claimed are very obvious to an experienced personal injury lawyer because he or she must have experience in representing the injured victims like you.
