Damages caused to a person by bodily injury fall into two general categories: material and immaterial. Economic losses or material losses are the most important part of bodily harm, in this way, after the injury, in addition to the costs of treatment or care, the person may lose his financial resources permanently or for a certain period of time due to the impossibility of performing previous activities. It is important to know how much of these damages can be claimed and what the criteria for receiving these damages are, in particular, part of this damage is not accurately calculated and is ambiguous, because these damages are related to the future, not the present; This means that in the future, a person could have survived or lost his or her job for several years if this had not happened. So these calculations have been challenged. In this article, with a look at the principle of the ability to compensate for all damages, we believe that compensation for disability, apart from the meaning of pure economic damage, and based on comparative law, especially the three countries of France, England and the United States, we have examined how to calculate these damages.
