ProfessorNon-pecuniary damages, also known as non-economic damages, refer to compensation awarded to a plaintiff in a legal case for intangible losses that cannot be easily quantified in monetary terms. These damages may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium or companionship. They are meant to compensate for the physical and psychological harm endured by the plaintiff, rather than financial losses.
