What types of monetary damages can you collect in a brain injury case?

Monetary damages awarded in a brain injury lawsuit depend on the extent or severity of the injury. Plaintiffs may receive two basic types of damages - special damages, and general damages. Special damages include present and future medical expenses, lost income, lost earning capacity due to the injury, long-term treatment/rehabilitation expenses, and property damages. General damages include pain and suffering, shock and mental anguish, emotional distress, loss of reputation, and loss of companionship and society.
