A: There are three basic kinds of damages awarded in personal injury cases: compensatory, punitive and nominal. Compensatory damages compensate for losses related to income, medical treatments, property damage, pain and suffering, and more. Punitive damages are not based on actual injuries sustained. Rather, they are designed to punish the defendant for fraud, malice or willful conduct. Nominal damages are minimal damage awards acknowledging that the plaintiff was legally wronged, while at the same time recognizing a lack of evidence establishing that the plaintiff suffered actual damages.
At Gregory E. Wills, P.C., we work on a contingent fee basis for all workers’ compensation and personal injury cases. For other litigation matters, we typically work on an hourly retainer basis.
