What Does “Personal Injury Damages” Mean?

It is important to note that, in the context of personal injury law, “damages” does not refer to the damage or harm done to a person or to his or her property. Rather, it refers to the monetary compensation awarded to that person, whether through a settlement or a jury verdict, in order to cover the losses and expenses he or she sustained as a result of the accident that caused his or her injuries.

There are multiple types of damages. Compensation awarded to cover medical expenses are considered “special compensatory damages,” meaning that they are intended to compensate for expenses with specific dollar amounts that can be demonstrated through bills, invoices, and other demonstrable means.

What Types of Medical Expenses Can Be Included in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Examples of medical expenses that are commonly accounted for in personal injury lawsuits include:

• Hospital bills
• Surgery costs
• Anesthesia costs
• Laboratory costs
• Ambulance bills
• The cost of rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Medication costs
• Insurance reimbursement costs

In many cases, injured victims require expensive ongoing medical care that will extend into the future, possibly for the rest of their lives. These costs must be included in any personal injury lawsuit, as well. Once a lawsuit has been resolved, victims cannot file another lawsuit seeking additional costs as they arise. For this reason, it is important to hire an experienced, knowledgeable attorney who is able to identify all potential damages, such as Chris Olsen.
