For a personal damage, there are three main types of compensation possible. You can be compensated for suffering and pain, lost companionship, life enjoyment, and disfigurement resulting from medical treatment or the accident
Special damages include punitive and emotional compensation. Punitive damages are awarded due to the losses from harm involved against the defendant. Emotional compensation is for the pain and suffering the defendant experienced related to the injury.
Economic damages involve the lost wages from missed work, medical bills, and other expenses.

Collection is dependent on the nature of your case. There may be a negotiation of payment from the plaintiff in the form of a lump sum, payments over time, or property deeds released to the defendant.
