Seeking damages for what?

Question

If a pedestrian is struck by a car that is backing out of the driveway and sustains non-life-threatening injuries (sprained elbow and a broken bone) what can he/she sue for? (Assuming inurance is already paying the medical bills?)

Answer 1

Pain and suffering for one. Lost wages if the injury prevented them from doing their job.

Answer 2

Medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, services they have to hire because they can't perform them at home.   There's no limit, really.   It's whatever a judge/jury would feel like awarding.
