What damages can I recover in a Pennsylvania personal injury claim?

Depending on the claim, compensatory damages may include medical expenses, rehabilitation, future care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and other reasonable out-of-pocket losses. Non-economic damages may compensate for pain, emotional suffering, disability, disfigurement, loss of life’s pleasures, and the effect of the injury on close family relationships.
Different rules may apply in wrongful-death, survival, medical-malpractice, government-liability, workers’ compensation, and motor-vehicle cases. Punitive damages may be requested only in exceptional cases involving sufficiently serious misconduct. The recoverable amount must be supported by evidence and may also be affected by comparative negligence, policy limits, statutory restrictions, or liens.
