So what are the differences between these damages?
Economic damages
These are compensatory awards provided to the victim or plaintiff for the financial losses that he or she has incurred as a direct result of medical malpractice itself. Therefore, an example of an economic damage that can be claimed would be medical expenses for both past and future expenses in order to treat the medical injury or condition brought about by the medical malpractice.
Non-economic damages
Non-economic damages are those which are provided to the victim in order to compensate him or her for losses which were not financial but which cannot be quantified monetarily. Some examples of non-economic damages are pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of companionship or consortium, etc.
Punitive damages
These are not meant to compensate the plaintiff for anything specifically, but are intended to serve as further punishment to the defendant for their negligence or recklessness. To send a message!
