Types of Damages You Can Receive Compensation for in Delaware
The state recognizes three types of damages for personal injury cases. Economic damages are the calculable damages resulting directly from your injury, such as medical bills or lost wages from the time you miss at work.
Often referred to as pain and suffering, non-economic damages are awarded based on the mental anguish you have sustained for your injury. These are more difficult to calculate, as they put a price on effects such as depression or insomnia that resulted from the injury. You can even calculate loss of companionship under non-economic damages.
Punitive damages, the third type, are awarded rarely. They mainly serve as punishment to the negligent party or when personal injury occurs as a result of malice.
