Damages available in a personal injury lawsuit
If you prevail in your personal injury case, a jury will award you damages based on your injuries. However, the potential damages in a personal injury lawsuit can vary greatly depending on the facts of your case.
Damages in a personal injury suit fall within two different categories: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are measurable, meaning a personal injury attorney can easily prove the value of the injury through invoices or receipts. Lost wages are a common example. Non-economic damages are not measurable due to their subjective nature. These damages are intended to compensate a victim for psychological/emotional damages like pain and suffering.
Common damages in a personal injury lawsuit include:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Future medical costs
- Reduced future earning capacity
- Disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Permanent disability

At Douglas & London, we never take a fee in a case unless we are successful in recovering damages in your case. That means you never have to worry about up-front fees. If we are unable to collect damages in your case, you will owe us nothing. If we are successful, our fee will be the percentage of your recovery agreed to up-front.
