What Are Nominal Damages?
When it comes to personal injury cases, nominal damages refer to a small monetary award granted to the plaintiff when the defendant has infringed upon their rights but has not caused significant harm. While the actual damages may be minimal, nominal damages serve as a recognition of the plaintiff’s rights being violated. In personal injury cases, nominal damages are often sought in situations where the plaintiff’s injury is minor or non-existent but their legal rights have been violated.
When Are Nominal Damages Appropriate?
In personal injury cases, nominal damages may be appropriate in the following situations:
– In cases where the plaintiff has suffered minimal or no physical injury but has experienced emotional distress or mental anguish due to the defendant’s actions.
– When the defendant’s actions have violated the plaintiff’s rights, but no significant harm has been caused.
– In instances where the plaintiff has suffered a minor injury, but the focus is on the defendant’s wrongdoing rather than the extent of the harm caused.
The Significance of Nominal Damages
While nominal damages may seem insignificant in monetary terms, they play a vital role in personal injury cases. By seeking nominal damages, plaintiffs can assert their rights, hold the defendant accountable for their actions, and set a legal precedent for similar cases in the future. Additionally, nominal damages can reinforce the principle that legal rights should be upheld, regardless of the extent of harm caused.
