Medical bills are the most obvious damages a family would be trying to recover in their child’s personal injury law case, but there are a number of other categories in which the family might receive additional compensation. A child would not likely be able to recover damage for lost income, but they may recover damages for future loss of income if their injury causes a lifelong disability that prevents them from ever working.
Additional compensation may be paid for:
Disfigurement
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
