Economic Damages. Economic damages come in a few different forms. For example, one of the most common forms of economic damages (also known as special damages) are your medical bills. In fact, this is one of the easiest damages that you may be able to win because your attorney is usually able to pinpoint the exact dollar amount that needs to be paid. Your medical bills may come in the form of:
- Surgeries
- X-rays
- Physical Therapy
- Medication
- Future Medical Expenses
You may also be able to gather damages for your lost income. If you are unable to work because of your injury before or after medical care, the person who is responsible for your injury could also be responsible for this as well.
Non-Economic Damages. When you are awarded non-economic damages, it means that you are awarded damages for non-monetary losses that are directly associated with the accident that caused you to injure your back. For example, you may get compensated for your pain and suffering. This is emotional pain and suffering that happened as well as distress. It may result in temporary or permanent anxiety after the accident.
