Burn Injury Victim Monetary Recovery
In a burn injury lawsuit, the monetary recovery is something that’s called damages. The burn injury can be on any part of the body. At times, the legs, hands, arms and feet can be so badly burnt that they require amputation. There are many different types of damages that can be claimed in a personal injury burn lawsuit.
The following are the damages that can usually be claimed:
Medical Expenses
Cost of Care
Past and Future Lost Earnings
Pain and Suffering
Punitive Damages
Actual Damages
Pain and suffering is going to include more than just the physical pain of the burn injury itself. The pain and suffering damage award will likely include the physical pain aspect, but also:
Disability
Disfigurement
Suffering
Mental Impairment
Emotional Distress
For the damages award, your actual damages are the actual amounts of money that you’ve lost due to the burn injury. The punitive damage award is an award that’s above and beyond and is given to punish the party that’s liable for the burn injury. It’s usually meant as a deterrent for the plaintiff to not continue their reckless behaviors in the future in addition to the actual additional compensation for the victim.
