One of the damages that a plaintiff can recover in a premises liability case is “loss of enjoyment of normal life”. This type of damage can be a component of pain and suffering damages, or it can stand on its own. It is meant to compensate the plaintiff from the loss of enjoyment of living that a person formerly enjoyed but is no longer able to due to their resulting injuries. This may mean that a man that was an avid hiker lost enjoyment of their normal life since his slip and fall down a flight of stairs at a restaurant resulted in him being paralyzed from the waist down. This would bring a drastic change to his life and he could be compensated for such an event.

To prove loss of enjoyment of normal life, the plaintiff or close family members give testimonies to illustrate how their life has changed and been damaged. Depending on the severity and duration of the sustained injuries, the amount awarded can range from a couple thousand dollars or even over a million.
