A: There are generally three different categories of damages that you may be able to recover in a medical malpractice claim: economic, non-economic and punitive damages. Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages and other out-of-pocket expenses that are related to the injury. Non-economic damages include compensation for pain and suffering or emotional trauma. Punitive damages are awarded in only a few cases where the behavior of the medical professional was outrageous.
