What is the definition of damages?

Damages are monetary compensation for the done to a victim by an at-fault party. When it is proven that a person or a company was negligent, and it resulted in a physical or emotional personal injury, the victim can be eligible for compensation.

What types of damages are there?

There two types of damages that are usually being calculated. They are:

Special Damages.  This refers to losses that can be objectively assessed and then awarded to an injured party. Special damages are for tangible losses, such as wage loss, nursing care, and medical expenses.

General Damages. Often called “pain and suffering,” this type of damages are intended to compensate you for non-monetary injuries you experience, such as pain, anxiety, and other suffering you have to endure because of your injury.

Punitive damages are legal recompense that a guilty party is ordered to pay on top of compensatory damages. They are awarded by a court not to compensate injured victims but to punish defendants whose conduct is found to be grossly negligent or intentional.

How are damages calculated in court?

The amount of money awarded to the victim is based on the proven harm, loss, or injury suffered. This excludes punitive damages, which may be awarded when the defendant’s actions are especially reckless or malicious.
