The party at fault is liable to pay to the other party, damages incurred as a result of his or her injury. There are various types of damages that a person is liable to pay to the claimant:

• Nominal damage: These damages generally involves small amount of money which are paid to the plaintiff just because the other party did something wrong to him or her. These are paid when there is no injury caused to the plaintiff.
• Compensatory damage: These damages includes larger amount of money that is provided to the injured party to reimburse for the expenses incurred in paying for medical expenses, other property damaged occurred due to the accident. Compensatory damages are categorized in two types: general and specific. Under general compensatory damage, the plaintiff is liable to receive compensation for non-monetary loss like pain and sufferings and loss of ability to live normal life. Under specific compensatory damage, the plaintiff is liable to receive compensation for monetary loss like medical expenses, loss of wages, property damage etc.
• Punitive damage: These damages are typically awarded by judge or jury in addition to compensatory damages. The amount of these damages is set by the jury itself.
