What types of damages are available to me if I win my personal injury lawsuit?

Damages is a legal term that refers to the amount of money a winning plaintiff is awarded in a civil lawsuit. Damages can be divided into two main categories: pecuniary (monetary) and non-pecuniary.

Pecuniary, or monetary, damages represent actual financial losses you have suffered as a result of your accident and/or injuries. These include:

•Medical expenses, both past and future
•Lost wages
•Loss of future earnings
•Household services
•Property damage

Non-pecuniary damages are compensation for your suffering and do not coincide with any particular financial loss or out-of-pocket expense. These include:

•Disfigurement
•Disability
•Pain and suffering
•Mental anguish
•Loss of consortium
•Loss of enjoyment of life
