Some states limit the amount of damages you can recover in personal injury cases. Understanding these caps is crucial for setting realistic expectations.
Non-Economic Damages
No cap on non-economic damages for most personal injury cases
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages (called "common law punitive damages") are limited to litigation costs in most cases. Statutory punitive damages are available in product liability cases.
