Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compensatory damages are intended to compensate or reimburse a plaintiff for actual losses suffered as a result of the defendant's actions. These can include economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Reimbursement damages and actual damages are not commonly used terms in tort law. Punitive damages are awarded to punish the defendant for egregious behavior and deter others from engaging in similar behavior, but they are not intended to compensate the plaintiff for actual losses.
