Another type of damage that can be recovered in a case of severe and permanently disabling injury is that of loss of consortium, which refers to the inability of the victim to engage in the activities related to companionship with his or her spouse or loved ones at the level he or she once enjoyed. Although the damages awarded for loss of consortium are generally less than other types of compensatory damages, they can be significant in tragic cases of accidents which lead to severe impairment such as paraplegia.
Types Of Compensatory Damages:
Property Damage | Medical Expenses | Loss of Income | Pain and Suffering | Mental Anguish and Emotional Distress | Lost Opportunity | Court Costs and Attorney's Fees
