What damages can I recover from premises liability?

Premises liability damages compensate for all losses flowing from dangerous property conditions causing visitor injuries. Medical expenses include emergency treatment, surgeries, therapy, medications, and future care needs throughout recovery. Lost wages cover work absence during treatment plus reduced earning capacity from permanent limitations. Pain and suffering addresses physical discomfort and emotional trauma from injuries. Permanent disability compensation recognizes lasting functional limitations affecting daily activities. Scarring and disfigurement from lacerations or surgical repairs warrant separate aesthetic damages. Property damage to personal belongings broken during falls adds economic losses. Loss of enjoyment quantifies inability to participate in previous activities. Household service replacement values assistance needed during recovery. Future medical monitoring for conditions like traumatic brain injury requires expert projections. Punitive damages rarely apply unless owners showed conscious disregard for extreme hazards.

Understanding comprehensive damages ensures full compensation for preventable property injuries.
