Non-Economic Damages in Car Accidents

Non-Economic Damages in Boca Raton Car Accidents

At Kanner & Pintaluga, we understand that the impact of a car accident goes beyond measurable financial losses. The non-financial consequences of a Boca Raton car crash can play a significant role – potentially even bigger than the economic costs – in the aftermath of being injured in an accident. In some cases, the psychological and emotional damage can linger long after injuries have fully healed.

Non-economic damages are often referred to as “general” or “pain and suffering” damages. This basically means that the damages are not tangible or quantifiable, meaning they don’t have a clearly discernable monetary value. Instead, non-economic damages seek to compensate victims of Boca Raton car crashes for the emotional and psychological toll they endured during their recovery or any lingering pain and suffering they experience in the long-term.

Common Non-Economic Damages in Boca Raton Car Accidents

There are a handful of common non-economic damage types that are present in many serious car crashes. Not every person involved in a Boca Raton auto accident will be entitled to each type of non-economic compensation because they tend to be specific to the person’s experience, or in some cases their immediate family members.

The Complexity of Non-Economic Damages

Determining the value of non-economic damages is a complex process since they are much more difficult to prove. Unlike economic damages, which can be calculated with certainty based on things like medical bills, pay stubs, body shop repair estimates or car replacement costs, non-economic damages involve subjective factors that are unique to each individual’s experience.

Several methods may be employed in the calculation of non-economic damages. One common method is the multiplier method. This is when economic damages are multiplied by a factor (between one and five) reflecting the severity of non-economic losses.

Another option is the per diem method, which uses a daily rate for pain and suffering, typically based on the length of a person’s recovery. One of the more common approaches with the per diem method is to use the injured person’s average daily earnings. For example, if a person earned $100 a day and it took them six months to fully recover, the calculation might be 183 days * $100.

Legal professionals also consider subjective assessments and compare analyses of similar cases and expert testimonies to better understand the impact on the victim’s quality of life. A car crash lawyer’s skill at developing an emotionally resonant narrative is often vital in negotiations and especially at trial where a jury may be deciding on damages.

The car crash attorneys and trial lawyers at Kanner & Pintaluga excel at crafting compelling cases that clearly demonstrate the totality of the impact non-economic consequences have on the injured person and their family.
