Losses or injuries resulting from negligence, and which the law recognizes, are referred to as "damages". Obvious examples include: bodily injury (medical bills, income lost as a result of disability, pain and suffering, etc.), and psychological injury (such as being arrested on a false charge, being libeled or slandered, or the wrongful death of a close family member). There are also financial losses which can come from disputed insurance claims, damage to property or business, and other wrongful conduct.
