In a premises liability lawsuit, the plaintiff will have suffered injuries due to the negligence of the owner or occupier of the property. If they are successful in their case, they are able to recover their monetary damages from the defendant. There are several claims that you can make in damages from this accident.

One category of damages is economic damages, which are losses that can be compensated. One of the most common damages in these cases is for medical expenses. Any hospitalizations, surgeries, therapies, medications, or other medical treatments can be recovered with the help of your attorneys obtaining your medical records and bills. You can also recover loss of income for the time that your injuries kept you out of work, and loss of future income for the money that you will lose in the aftermath due to the troubles that your injuries caused you for a certain period of time. If you suffered any property damage in the accident, you may be able to be compensated for that, as well. These can all be proven by bills, receipts, pay stubs, and more.

Non-economic damages, or the losses that are intangible and more difficult to quantify, may include one of the most common ones: pain and suffering. Pain and suffering damages covers many types of physical and emotional pain that you endured. There is emotional distress, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of normal life, and loss of consortium, when your relationships deteriorate as a consequence of your accident/injuries. These are just to name a few of the common non-economic damages. To prove these, most personal testimonies will be sufficient to show their legitimacy and impact.
