Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bonnie is asking for compensatory damages, which are intended to compensate her for the actual harm (in this case, damage to her car) caused by Martin's Lumber's actions. Exemplary, noneconomic, and punitive damages are different types of damages that may be awarded in some cases, but are not relevant in this scenario.
