What are the three types of damages that I can sue for?
If you are fighting for a personal injury claim, you can ask the defendant for more than one type of repayment. Plaintiffs can request general damages, which covers the pain, suffering and the mental and emotional aspects of an injury. Though it is difficult to put a pricetag on this, the extra cash can help the plaintiff get back on the road to recovery. Special damages refers to the medical bills and lost earning, in the past, the present and the future. Punitive damages can be awarded simply because the judge or jury feels that the defendant deserves a bigger settlement.
