Compensatory damages cover whatever amount of compensation the defendant owes to the plaintiff, whereas punitive damages exceed the amount of compensation and are designed to “punish” the defendant. When you choose the Milwaukee, Wisconsin personal injury attorneys at the Cochran Firm, we will fight to help you receive the full measure of compensation you deserve.
