Compensatory Damages

Compensatory damages are designed to place a victim in the position he or she would be in if the injury had never occurred. By placing a dollar amount on the victim's injuries, compensatory damages seek to restore the victim financially, physically and emotionally. Compensatory damages may be divided into two categories: damages that compensate victims for monetary losses (also known as special damages), and damages that compensate victims for non-monetary losses (also known as general damages).

Monetary Losses

Compensatory damages for monetary losses include:

Medical expenses. Damages for medical expenses may include the costs of both past and future medical care and rehabilitation. Future costs are calculated by estimating the patient's medical needs for the rest of his or her life expectancy.
Costs of living with a disability. An injury may result in a disability that requires a victim to significantly alter his or her lifestyle. Compensatory damages may cover the costs associated with this change. For example, a damage award may compensate a victim for the costs of renovating a house to make it wheelchair-accessible, or the costs of in-home nursing care or assistance.
Lost wages. A victim may recover any wages lost while recovering from an injury, as well as any lost earning capacity suffered as a result of an injury.
Repair or replacement of property. A victim may recover the costs of property damage suffered in a car accident, or other type of accident. Property is typically valued at its fair market value at the time of the injury.
Funeral expenses. The family of a personal injury victim may recover the costs of any funeral expenses incurred as a result of the injury.
Non-Monetary Losses
Non-monetary damages may be difficult to calculate and damage awards may vary significantly between victims. Damages for non-monetary losses include:

Pain and suffering. Damages for pain and suffering typically include compensation for actual physical pain, as well as compensation for emotional distress. Emotional distress is defined as the frustration, fear, anger and loss of enjoyment of life associated with suffering from a debilitating injury.
Loss of consortium. Spouses of personal injury victims may receive damages for the loss of the emotional and intangible elements of marriage, such as loss of affection, solace, comfort, companionship, society, assistance, and sexual relations.
