The answer to this question is primarily dependent on the severity of your injury and other particulars associated with the case. Damages should reflect the costs of:
- Medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Mental and emotional trauma
- Property damage
In some cases, punitive damages may be assigned to send a message and punish the defendants for serious wrongdoing.
