Actual Damages

Actual damages, also called compensatory damages, are paid to compensate the you for loss, injury, or harm suffered by another. These are injuries that occur to you, personally. Stress and emotional injuries, embarrassment, or physical injuries are all actual damages. It is important that you do everything you can to substantiate these damages. This includes keeping note of what is said between you and the potential defendant. It includes seeing a doctor if you feel you need one. It includes keeping track of witnesses that may have seen or heard what happened, or observed the effect on you. And finally, it includes keeping copies of everything – letters, bills, notes, recordings, etc.
