Lost earnings: This amount includes anticipated future lost earnings (if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job duties, for example0. Incidental expenses, such as child care expenses that you incur while you are recovering in the hospital. Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical suffering that you endure. This amount could be two to five times the amount of your compensation for medical expenses. Mental anguish, anxiety, scarring, disfigurement and similar intangible losses.
