Thus, this compensation helps the individual make up for losses suffered from the accident. The most common compensation for damages are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Current and projected medical bills<\/li>\n<li>Dolor y sufrimiento<\/li>\n<li>Emotional trauma<\/li>\n<li>Lost wages, both current and projected<\/li>\n<li>P\u00e9rdida del disfrute de la vida<\/li>\n<li>Damaged relationships<\/li>\n<li>Da\u00f1os a la propiedad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Punitive Damages vs Compensatory Damages<\/h2>\n<p>Secondly, though compensatory damages are more common, you could receive punitive damages in a personal injury case. However, not all auto injury settlements will include punitive damages. Additionally, judges award punitive damages to punish the gross negligence of the defendant. Some punitive damages awarded are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Honorarios del esten\u00f3grafo judicial<\/li>\n<li>Costos de las exhibiciones<\/li>\n<li>Tarifa de reproducci\u00f3n<\/li>\n<li>Fees charged by legal professionals<\/li>\n<li>Gastos diversos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Compensation Limitations<\/h2>\n<p>Currently, the state of Florida does not limit compensatory damages. However, there are limits to punitive damages to keep damages from becoming excessive. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.73.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Punitive damages<\/a> may not exceed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three times the amount of compensatory damages awarded.<\/li>\n<li>Or $500,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>CONTACTO<\/h2>\n<p>After an automobile accident, you may not know what to do or who to call.
