What is a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

A personal injury is an injury to a person’s body, mind, or emotions. Often when a defendant’s negligent behavior causes an injury to the plaintiff, a personal injury lawsuit is filed. Some common types of personal injury lawsuits include:

Types of Compensation in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Money damages are awarded in personal injury lawsuits to compensate the victim for any pain and suffering caused by the injury along with any related expenses and costs. There are two types of compensation in a personal injury lawsuit, compensatory and punitive.

Compensatory compensation acts as reimbursement for injuries and is related to financial loss. Compensatory damages often include the following:

  • Medical bills including future medical care due to injuries
  • Lost wages, current, and future if unable to work
  • Pain and suffering due to physical discomfort and distress, as well as your mental and emotional trauma
  • Loss of enjoyment of life such as inability to do hobbies, exercise, and other pleasurable aspects of life
  • Other damages including loss of consortium, disfigurement, increased risk of future harm, shortened life expectancy, and future care-taking expenses

Punitive damages are damages meant to punish a wrongdoer for extraordinarily reckless or intentional behavior. They are usually a significant amount of money above and beyond compensation for injuries. Only the most reprehensible conduct calls for punitive damages.

An experienced personal injury attorney, like those at Pisegna & Zimmerman, can tell you if your case may qualify for punitive damages. There are time limits on personal injury lawsuits.
