Non-economic damages are more challenging to quantify as they involve intangible losses that do not have a specific monetary value attached to them. While these damages cannot be measured precisely in terms of dollars spent or income lost like economic damages can be calculated, they are equally important to your compensation.
- Pain and suffering: This refers to physical pain experienced by you as a result of your injuries. It also includes any discomfort or inconvenience caused during the recovery process.
- Emotional distress: Personal injuries can have a significant impact on your mental well-being, leading to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or other emotional challenges.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: If the injury has resulted in a diminished ability to participate in activities they once enjoyed, you may be entitled to compensation for this loss.
