Damages, in a legal sense, is the sum of money the law imposes for a breach of some duty or violation of some right. Generally, there are two types of damages : compensatory and punitive. (The term "damages" typically includes both categories, but the term, "actual damages" is synonymous with compensatory damages, and excludes punitive damages. Compensatory damages, like the name suggests, are intended to compensate the injured party for his loss or injury. Punitive damages are awarded to punish a wrongdoer. There are other modifying terms placed in front of the word damages like "liquidated damages," (contractually established damages) and "nominal damages" (where the court awards a nominal amount such as one dollar).

  • Choosing a Lawyer
  • Get full clarity on the fee structure:
    Lawyers may charge you for every action they take while defending you or representing you in court. This could amount to hundreds of dollars an hour. While choosing your lawyer, keep in mind that you must discuss the fees in detail so that there are no hidden costs to be discovered later. The fee will greatly depend upon the nature of your case, and whether the lawyer is comfortable with it therefore the details must be ascertained before hand in black and white.

  • Find a lawyer with whom you are comfortable:
    Your interaction with your lawyer will require you to shed a lot of information about yourself and others around you. Choose a lawyer who you are comfortable with, and whom you can trust personally as well as professionally. You must have confidence in your lawyer and work with him/her to bring out the important points in your case. If you are not comfortable talking to your lawyer, you could be withdrawing certain information that might prove crucial to the case. Some lawyers will charge you for an initial meeting, but still do not hesitate to pay this fee for a second or third time to a different lawyer if you are not comfortable with the earlier ones.
