What Types of Compensation Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Personal injury compensation typically falls into three categories: Economic damages, which are medical bills, lost income, future medical costs, and lost earning capacity.

There is non-economic damages, which is pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and in rare cases, punitive damages for particularly reckless behavior.

Massachusetts doesn’t cap most types of damages, though medical malpractice cases have specific limitations that you have to keep in mind.
