damages actions

Damages actions refer to legal claims where a person seeks compensation for harm or loss caused by another party’s actions. In essence, if someone is injured or suffers financial loss due to someone else's negligence, intentional wrongdoing, or breach of duty, they can file a lawsuit to recover damages. These damages can cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs. The aim is to restore the injured party, as much as possible, to the position they would have been in had the harmful event not occurred.
