If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. In the attached video, Brett Steinberg explains the two main categories of compensation, economic and non-economic damages, and how they apply to accident victims in Florida. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for ensuring you receive the full amount you deserve.
Economic Damages: Covering Your Financial Losses
Economic damages are tangible costs related to your accident, including:
- Medical Expenses – Past, present, and future medical treatment costs, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and prescription medications.
- Lost Wages – If your injuries prevent you from working, you can recover compensation for lost income.
- Loss of Future Earning Capacity – If your injuries impact your ability to work long-term, you may be entitled to future wage compensation.
- Property Damage – The cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle and other damaged belongings.
Non-Economic Damages: Addressing the Pain and Suffering
Unlike economic damages, non-economic damages are more subjective and compensate victims for:
- Pain and Suffering – The physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injuries.
- Mental Anguish – Anxiety, depression, or PTSD resulting from the accident.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life – When injuries prevent you from participating in activities you once enjoyed.
