What are Compensatory Damages?

There are two types of damages that can be awarded in a personal injury lawsuit: compensatory and punitive. 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.

What Compensatory Damages Include

When you file a personal injury lawsuit, you are entitled to ask for much more than the minimal sum offered by insurance companies in these cases. Damages sought in a personal injury lawsuit can include:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Current and future lost wages
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Pain and suffering

No matter what the cause of your injury, if another party is responsible for it through their negligence or recklessness, you have a right to seek full compensation for your suffering. Our attorneys at the Cochran Firm will fight tirelessly to ensure that you and your family obtain the compensation you need to make a full recovery.

If you have been injured in any type of accident in Milwaukee or surrounding areas of Wisconsin, please contact the experienced personal injury attorneys at the Cochran Firm Wisconsin to schedule a free initial consultation.
