Personal injury damages
Direct answer
Personal injury damages fall into economic losses with documentary support — medical charges, lost earnings, out-of-pocket costs, documented future care — and non-economic losses presented through recorded limitation and impact. The demand's job is to make each category traceable to an attached document; assigning value to the claim remains attorney judgment.

Economic damages and their documents
| Category | Supporting documentation |
|---|---|
| Medical charges | Itemized provider billing, reconciled specials summary |
| Lost earnings | Employer letter, payroll records, tax documentation |
| Out-of-pocket | Receipts for mileage, prescriptions, equipment |
| Property damage | Repair estimate or valuation |
| Future care | Provider recommendation plus a cost basis |
Non-economic damages through the record
- Work restrictions and their duration, quoted from provider notes
- Measured functional limitation over time
- Specific activity impacts documented at visits
- Duration of treatment and its intensity
Characterization without documentation is discounted. A quoted restriction from a treating provider does more than a paragraph of description.
