What are the General Areas I Can Seek to Recover in a Lawsuit?

1. General Damages- Damages for pain and suffering
2. Income loss- damages for lost income as a result of an accident or loss of competitive advantage
3. Out-of pocket expenses- expenses incurred as a result of an accident (ie: housekeeping help, prescriptions, medical rehabilitation)
4. Bad Faith damages- damages awarded if the opposing party has done something so “high-handed” that it warrants damages over and above all other headings
