Non-economic damages are more subjective and compensate for the non-financial impact of the accident on your life. These may include:

• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and discomfort you endure as a result of your injuries.
• Emotional Distress: Damages for the emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, and other psychological impacts of the accident.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injuries prevent you from enjoying activities and hobbies you once loved, you may be entitled to compensation for this loss.
• Loss of Consortium: If the accident affects your relationship with your spouse, you may be entitled to damages for the loss of companionship and support.
