When people think of damages in an injury case, they usually consider economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. But in some cases, a defendant may be ordered to pay additional amounts if their conduct was especially harmful.
These additional amounts are known as punitive damages. Personal injury victims have the right to recover for all types of damage caused by another’s negligence, including non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
