Damages in such a case may include the following: (1) lost wages, (2) disability (future earning ability), (3) past and future medical expenses, and (4) compensation for pain and suffering. Depending on the circumstances, a family member may also be able to recover damages for loss of consortium (loss of companionship and service). In situations of gross negligence or a pattern of negligent conduct, it may also be possible to recover punitive damages.
