Everyone who drives has specific duties and responsibilities while operating a motor vehicle. When a driver does not uphold those duties and someone is injured, the injured person is entitled to seek "special" and/or "general" compensation for damages. Special damages include documented losses or expenses due to the injury such as past and future lost wages and medical expenses. The term general damages refer to compensation for the change in the quality of life as a result of the injury.
