These include medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, and lost earning capacity — the measurable financial costs of your injury.
Economic Damages
Non-Economic Damages
Pain, suffering, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life are real harms. Virginia juries can award these, and they often form a large part of serious-injury claims.
Factors That Raise or Lower Value
Severity, permanence, clear liability, and strong documentation increase value. Gaps in treatment or any hint of shared fault — dangerous in Virginia — reduce it.
