What types of damages can I receive in a personal injury lawsuit?

In a personal injury lawsuit, you may be entitled to various types of damages (monetary compensation) depending on the nature and extent of your injuries and losses. These damages generally fall into two broad categories: (1) Economic Damages (past and future medical expenses, past and future wage loss, property damages, out-of-pocket expenses) and (2) Non-Economic Damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement or disability).
