A personal injury plaintiff (the person who brings a personal injury lawsuit) can, if successful in establishing liability, generally recover the amount of money that will reasonably and fairly compensate him or her for damages proximately caused by the negligence or wrongful conduct of a defendant (the person or entity sued), taking into consideration the nature, extent and duration of the injury sustained and the aggravation of any pre-existing ailment or condition.

Such recoverable damages from a personal injury lawsuit or personal injury settlement might include compensation for:

  • Disfigurement resulting from the injury;
  • The disability experienced and reasonably certain to be experienced in the future;
  • Loss of normal life experienced and reasonably certain to be experienced in the future (that is, the temporary or permanent diminished ability to enjoy life and inability to pursue pleasurable aspects of life);

  • Shortened life expectancy;
  • The pain and suffering experienced and reasonably certain to be experienced in the future as a result of the injuries;
  • The emotional distress experienced and reasonably certain to be experienced in the future;
