A personal injury lawyer can assist in recovering two main types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are calculated based on concrete costs, like medical bills, lost income, property damage, and extra care expenses. On the other hand, non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life, are more subjective and individualized. To receive compensation, damages need to be quantified realistically rather than hypothetically. In cases of extreme wrongdoing by the defendant, punitive damages may also be available in addition to compensatory damages.
