Damages are split into two compensatory models: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are tangible losses that have been documented. They take the form of medical bills, follow-up treatments, lost wages, prescription costs, etc. Non-economic damages, however, are more abstract in nature. These are damages that cannot be easily documented or verified.

Typically, juries view non-economic damages dubiously as they are not easily verifiable. There are some instances in which mental anguish claims are more verifiable, such as when an individual obtains psychological treatment as the result of an event which causes mental trauma.
