Special damages are damages that are specific to the injury or wrong committed and are usually capable of calculating mathematically. Essentially, out-of-pocket expenses. These are different from "general damages", which also flow from the injury but are not calculable. If a person is in a car accident and has medical expenses, the special damages will be all the costs of treatment, loss of income or other dollar losses. If the person also has pain and suffering (If?) then general damages will be some amount of money the jury will award based on its own judgment and common sense to compensate the injured person.
