Nominal Damages
In personal injury cases, nominal damages refer to a small amount of money awarded to the plaintiff when no actual financial loss has been suffered. While the compensation awarded may be symbolic, recognizing nominal damages is crucial in the legal landscape of personal injury cases.
Nominal damages can be significant in legal terms, as they:
Provide recognition of a legal violation: Even when the financial impact is minimal, nominal damages signify that the defendant’s actions resulted in a legal harm or violation.
Affirm the plaintiff’s rights: warding nominal damages, the legal system acknowledges the plaintiff’s right to seek justice and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.
Establish liability: The award of nominal damages can establish liability, laying the foundation for potential punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct.
When Nominal Damages Apply
Nominal damages can come into play in personal injury cases under various circumstances:
Violation of rights: If the plaintiff’s rights have been violated, resulting in emotional distress or mental anguish, nominal damages may be awarded to acknowledge the harm suffered.
Breach of contract: In cases where a contract has been breached, but the plaintiff has not incurred any substantial financial loss, nominal damages can be awarded to uphold the legal integrity of the agreement.
Property damage: In instances where property has been damaged, but the financial loss is minimal, nominal damages may be sought to validate the infringement of the plaintiff’s rights.
