Damages Available After an Omaha Motorcycle Crash

If you or a loved one has sustained injuries after a motorcycle accident in Omaha, bear in mind there are various kinds of damages you may be entitled to request through a personal injury claim.

The primary type of damages is known as compensatory damages, which is divided into economic damages and non-economic damages.

Economic damages are based on tangible, relatively objective costs and losses, such as medical bills, lost income and earning capacity, property damage, and the costs of future medical treatment. 

Non-economic damages are more subjective, covering items such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and lost enjoyment of life. Damages must be reasonably quantifiable to be awarded, rather than being speculative. 

If the defendant has acted in an especially egregious manner, you may be able to recover punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. These are meant to punish the defendant and deter this type of conduct. Punitive damages are rarely awarded but can be substantial, although there are constitutional limits on how much they can exceed compensatory damages.
