What exactly are “Damages”? ⚖️
While we often use the word in everyday conversation to describe broken items, in a legal context, damages have a precise definition: a legal remedy, typically in the form of monetary compensation, paid to a claimant to make them whole after a loss or injury.
In personal injury law, damages are intended to cover:
Economic Losses: Measurable costs like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage (like a totaled vehicle).
Non-Economic Losses: Compensation for things like pain and suffering.
We walk you through how this concept is applied in real-world litigation. Watch the video to see how these factors play a role when a case heads to court. 🚗💡
