Compensatory damages in personal injury cases

I have suffered injuries in an accident. I am thinking of filing a personal injury case. I have heard about compensatory damages.  What is it all about?

Most damages in personal injury cases are classified as compensatory damages. These damages are intended to compensate injured victims for the loss sustained from an accident or injury. From the monetary perspective, the main objective of compensatory damages is to make victims whole again. The following are the different types of compensatory damages:
•                    Medical treatment
•                    Property Loss
•                    Pain and suffering
•                    Loss of income
•                    Loss of consortium
•                    Emotional distress
•                    Loss of enjoyment
