Punitive DamagesDesigned to Deter Malicious Behavior
In Texas personal injury damages fall generally within two categories.
Punitive Damages
What many people know as punitive damages, Texas law calls "exemplary damages." They are payments designed to punish the responsible party for particularly egregious, wilful or even malicious behavior. To act as a financial deterrent, punitive damages are large sums, in excess of the compensatory damages sustained by the plaintif.
Compensatory Damages
Compensatory damages include both economic damages and non-economic damages. Texas law defines economic damages to include medical bills, lost wages, loss of inheritance, and lost income. Non-economic damages include compensation for pain and suffering past and future, mental anguish, disfigurement, physical impairment, loss of household services, loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, and injury to reputation.
Note: In certain types of personal injury cases, such as medical malpractice, non-economic damages and exemplary damages are capped by law.
