They include a sub-category of damages known as pain and suffering, which means the physical discomfort, mental anxiety, stress, and similar negative effects of the injuries - as well as the impact that the injuries have on the claimant's day-to-day life. General damages, on the other hand, aren't so easy to quantify.
They include the costs of medical treatment, any lost income due to time missed at work, property damage caused by the accident, and other out-of-pocket losses.
Special damages are those losses that are easy to quantify. In any injury-related insurance claim, or even a personal injury lawsuit filed in civil court, the losses suffered by the person who has been injured can be placed into one of these two categories.
