Punitive and Compensatory Damages
If you have been the victim of personal injury or a victim of a dangerous drug or medical device, then you may be entitled to damages. Awarded in civil actions, personal injury damages are monies allotted to those who have been wrongfully injured by someone else. Damages are intended to help restore the victim physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially. The two main types of personal injury damages are compensatory damages and in limited circumstances, exemplary or punitive damages.
Actual or Compensatory Damages
Compensatory damages, which are sometimes referred to as actual damages, cover all financial expenses and all ailments associated with personal injury, including:
- Physical Pain
- Mental Anguish (Emotional distress)
- Pain and suffering (grief, anxiety, humiliation, or depression)
- Disfigurement
- Medical bills
- Permanent disability
- Mental impairment
- Loss of Earnings (Loss Wages in Past & Future)
Punitive Damages
Often called exemplary damages, punitive damages are typically awarded to the plaintiff in addition to compensatory damages when the defendant's conduct has been especially malicious or oppressive. Punitive damages are awarded to punish the offender and to deter others from engaging in similar actions.
How much can you receive in personal injury damages?
Personal injury damages are determined on an individual, case-by-case basis. The amount is decided by the jury but can be reviewed by the court. If a judge feels that the amount of damages is excessive, he or she can order remittitur, a process in which the punitive damages are reduced without a new trial or appeal. If a judge feels that the amount of damages is inadequate, he or she can order additur, whereby punitive damages are increased without a new trial or appeal.
Medical Device & Drug Litigation Class Action Lawsuits & MDLs
Often in cases involving defective or recalled drugs, a case or claim can be resolved short of the trial on the merits and without the necessity having the experts come live at trial. In drug or defective medical device litigation, often a MDL or Multi-District Litigation is assigned to a particular court, and that Judge control much of the discovery, responses to request for production of documents, scheduling the depositions of witnesses and designation deadlines for both the plaintiff and defendants in these MDLs and in class action lawsuits.
