Personal Injury Compensation Damage Types

There are two main types of compensation or “damages” that are commonly awarded in a civil lawsuit: pecuniary damages, which are intended to compensate for financial losses, such as lost wages or medical expenses, and non-pecuniary, which are intended to compensate for non-financial losses, such as pain and suffering. In addition, but much more rarely, a Plaintiff could also receive punitive damages, which are intended to punish the Defendant if their conduct was particularly egregious, and aggravated damages, which may be awarded if the Defendant’s conduct was malicious or intentional.
