Re: Question about sueing another person
Some quick definitions:
General damages: Usually this means pain, suffering, and emotional distress. It's something for which there is no universal way to measure in dollars.
Loss of earning capacity: the inability to work (or work as much) in the future
Loss of use: inability to receive the benefit from a piece of property (real or personal). For example if your car was wrecked and you couldn't drive it for 2 weeks while it was being repaired, you would have damages for loss of use.

If you have been seriously injured,then seek representation. The trend of the public to access the courts unrepresented is foolish and a great miscarriage of justice will ensue as well as injury to judicial economy.
