A catastrophically injured plaintiff may receive damages of two types: economic and non-economic damages.
- Economic damages are intended to cover financial loss caused by the accident, examples include medical bills and lost income.
- Non-economic damages are intended to compensate a victim for different types of loss like pain and suffering or emotional distress.

- Pain and suffering.
- Emotional distress. Damages recovered for anxiety, depression, or PTSD resulting from the injury.
- Wrongful death.
- Lost income and wages.If you’ve missed work because of your injuries, this form of compensation for lost wages will attempt to make you whole again. You may also receive compensation for your future inability to work over the course of your lifetime.
- Loss of consortium.These damages are intended to compensate family members for the loss they suffer when a victim is unable to provide the same companionship as before the accident.
Depending on the carelessness, or recklessness of the responsible party, a jury may also award a plaintiff punitive damages, which are intended to punish the behavior of the defendant that caused the injury.
