What Can You Claim For?
This head of damages can be explained as the “pain and suffering” and “loss of life amenities” one suffered. General damages are based on the type of injuries one sustained and the sequelae (the permanency and future implications of the injuries).
Loss Of Past Income
Where the damages sustained caused a party to suffer loss of income, it may be claimed for. More importantly, where the damages have an impact on the parties’ future ability to earn an income, a party must be compensated for the past loss of income suffered.
Loss Of Future Income
More importantly than past loss of income, where the damages have an impact on the parties’ future ability to earn an income, a party must be compensated for the total future loss of income and / or the future loss of earning capacity.
Past Medical Expenses
A party will be compensated for all medical expenses incurred as a direct result of the negligence by a third party. (*Expenses paid by medical aid will be paid back to the medical aid)
Future Medical Expenses
A party will be compensated for all medical expenses which will be incurred in the future as a direct result of the negligence of a third party.
