Non-Economic Damages in Personal Injury

In personal injury cases, non-economic damages refer to the types of compensation awarded for losses that are not easily measured in monetary terms.  These damages are meant to compensate the injured party for the physical and emotional impact of the injury.  Some examples are:

• Past and future physical pain and mental suffering
• Past and future emotional distress
• Past and future loss of enjoyment of life, physical impairment, inconvenience, grief, anxiety, and humiliation
• Disfigurement and scarring

Calculating non-economic damages often require the expertise of attorneys, medical professionals and other experts.  Contact partner Erik B. Feingold at Myers, Widders, Gibson, Jones & Feingold, LLP today for assistance.
