In personal injury lawsuits, a victim seeks compensation for the injuries they have suffered. Compensation can include medical expenses, disability or deformity, loss of income and pain and suffering. In cases where the defendant acted maliciously or willfully, punitive damages may also be awarded. Punitive damages in personal injury lawsuits are intended to punish the responsible party and deter others from committing the same acts.
