Each personal injury case is different.
Construction accident victims, however, can generally seek compensation in a civil lawsuit for all their injuries, in addition to:
- Limitations and disabilities
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future income loss
- Lost earning capacity
Punitive damages might also be available if the court determines that the party who caused the accident acted especially harmful. While other damages compensate the victim, punitive damages punish the person who caused the harm, preventing them or others from doing the same thing in the future.
