What Kinds Of Damages Can Be Recovered After A Car Accident?
Being involved in a car accident can be a life-changing experience, especially if it results in severe injuries. In such cases, you may be entitled to pursue compensation for various damages. These damages are typically categorized as economic, non-economic and, in some cases, punitive damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages cover measurable financial losses. These include medical expenses for treatments, surgeries and rehabilitation. If you suffered property damage, such as a totaled vehicle, you could also seek reimbursement for repair or replacement costs. Lost wages or diminished earning capacity due to injuries may also fall under this category.
Noneconomic Damages
Noneconomic damages include the physical and emotional toll of your injuries. Pain and suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life are common examples. These damages are important in personal injury claims stemming from accidents with commercial vehicles, as the impact on your life can be extensive.
Punitive Damages
In cases where the at-fault party displayed gross negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded. For example, if a driver was intoxicated at the accident scene. Punitive damages aim to punish and deter such conduct.
