Someone found liable for a personal injury is also responsible for paying for every negative impact that injury will have on the injured person. These losses are often referred to as compensatory damages, and they can be further subdivided into economic and non-economic damages based on how their financial values are assessed during civil litigation.
Economic damages are losses that can be assigned an objective financial value based on quantitative evidence such as invoices, receipts, bills, and pay stubs or tax returns. Most of the time, medical expenses form the bulk of economic damages sought through a personal injury claim. It can also be vital to account for things like expenses stemming from personal property damage, lost short-term work income, and lost long-term working and earning capacity.
Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are subjective in nature and typically include losses that must be defined in qualitative terms, such as physical pain, psychological distress, and lost overall quality of life. A skilled lawyer could provide vital help identifying damages that should be incorporated into a personal injury lawsuit in Albuquerque and demanding a fair amount of compensation for each and every one of them.
