When an individual is injured due to the negligence of another party, they may be facing serious impacts in all aspects of their life. If they choose to bring a personal injury lawsuit against the liable party, they may be able to be relieved of some of the burdens in the form of damages. Damages are a form of compensation that an individual may recover if their personal injury lawsuit is successful and they can prove that the liable party was negligent. Although it isn’t always easy to prove that a party was negligent and that the negligence resulted in serious injuries, it can take some of the financial burdens off of the injured party.
An injured party may be able to recover both economic and noneconomic damages in their personal injury lawsuit. Economic damages are for all of the financial burdens that an individual may incur as a result of the accident. These may include medical expenses, the cost of rehabilitation, lost wages due to time out of work, and more. Noneconomic damages are those that are not financial in nature, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
