Potential Damages in New Hampshire Injury Cases

Victims of personal injury may be entitled to several types of potential compensation. The types and amounts will vary depending on the specifics of your case. They include compensation for both economic damages that can be verified by receipts and bills, as well as non-economic damages that are subjective. 

These can include: 

Medical Expenses: This covers the cost of medical care related to the injury, including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and any future medical needs stemming from the injury.

Pain and Suffering: This is compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress suffered due to the injury. It's subjective and can vary greatly from case to case

Lost Wages: If you were unable to work due to your injuries, you could be compensated for the wages you would have earned during that time.

Loss of Earning Capacity: If the injury has resulted in a decreased ability to earn income in the future, additional compensation may be awarded.

Property Damage: This involves damage to your vehicle or other personal property that can be the result of negligence-based accidents. 

Consequential and Incidental Expenses: These cover out-of-pocket costs related to the injury, such as travel expenses for medical appointments or modifications to a home or vehicle to accommodate a disability.

Enhanced Compensatory Damages: In certain cases where the at-fault party's actions were especially malicious, wanton, or oppressive, the court may award enhanced damages to compensate for the aggravating circumstances of the injury. These are commonly referred to as punitive damages. 

For those who have suffered permanent disability in catastrophic injury cases, all of these types of compensation could potentially apply. You might also be eligible for additional compensation related to the long-term impacts of your disability, such as ongoing medical care, assistive devices, and home health care.
