What Damages Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Case?

In a personal injury case, individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party may be eligible to recover various types of damages. The specific damages that can be recovered will depend on the nature and severity of the injuries, the circumstances of the case, and the laws in the relevant jurisdiction.

Here are some common types of damages that can be sought in a personal injury case:

• Medical Expenses: This includes all medical costs related to the injury, such as hospital bills, surgery costs, doctor's visits, prescription medications, rehabilitation, and future medical expenses if the injury requires ongoing treatment.
• Lost Wages: If the injury causes the victim to miss work, they can seek compensation for lost income. This includes both past and future lost earnings if the injury leads to long-term or permanent disability.
• Pain and Suffering: This category encompasses physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish resulting from the injury. The amount awarded is often subjective and may vary depending on the severity of the injuries and their impact on the victim's life.
• Property Damage: If the injury incident caused damage to personal property (e.g., a car in a car accident), the cost of repairs or replacement can be sought.
• Loss of Consortium: This refers to damages awarded to a spouse for the loss of companionship, intimacy, and support due to the injury.
• Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the responsible party and deter others from engaging in similar conduct.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Victims can seek compensation for the loss of the ability to enjoy life as they did before the injury.
• Scarring and Disfigurement: If the injury results in permanent scarring or disfigurement, the victim can seek damages for the physical and emotional impact.
• Diminished Earning Capacity: If the injury affects the victim's ability to earn income in the future, they may be awarded damages to compensate for this loss.
• Funeral and Burial Expenses: In wrongful death cases, the surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral and burial costs.

The specific types and amounts of damages that can be recovered in a personal injury case vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific details of the case. Additionally, the method of calculating damages may differ.

In many cases, negotiations and settlements are reached between the parties or their insurance companies before a case goes to trial. It's important to consult with a qualified personal injury attorney who can assess your case and help you understand what types of damages you may be eligible to recover based on your specific circumstances.

Types of Compensation

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident caused by negligence, carelessness, or recklessness, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party in civil court in order to recover financial compensation for your losses.

However, it is not uncommon for the at-fault party to argue that the victim either partially or completely contributed to the underlying accident that resulted in their injuries. When it comes to shared fault, Pennsylvania adheres to a “modified comparative negligence” statute, which means your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of liability.

For example, if the jury awards you with $50,000, but also determines you were 15 percent at fault, you will only get to receive $42,500 (or 85 percent of your total award). However, if you were more than 50 percent at fault for your injuries, then you cannot recover any compensation from other liable parties.

Common types of economic and noneconomic damages you can recover include:

• Medical and rehabilitation expenses
• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
