# Damages Tab

> The economic and non-economic damages roll-up for a Journey — overview only; deep dive in the Medical, Damages & Settlement section.

The **Damages** tab consolidates everything you'll be asking the carrier to pay for. It's the structured layer that sits on top of the [Medical tab](/case-management/journey-tabs/medical) and the [Expenses tab](/case-management/journey-tabs/expenses) — the same dollars, organized for demand prep.

## What's on the tab

Damages are split the way an insurance adjuster expects to see them:

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Economic damages">
    * **Medical bills** — pulled from the Medical tab, with billed-vs-incurred toggle
    * **Lost wages** — entered manually, with employer documentation
    * **Property damage** — vehicle repairs, replacement, rental
    * **Future care estimates** — from expert reports
    * **Other out-of-pocket** — receipts, mileage, etc.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Non-economic damages">
    * **Pain and suffering**
    * **Loss of enjoyment of life**
    * **Emotional distress**
    * **Permanent impairment**
  </Card>
</Columns>

The system computes a **damages total** that flows into demand letter drafts and the [Settlement tab](/case-management/journey-tabs/settlement).

## Billed vs. incurred

A common point of confusion: medical "billed" amounts are the provider's sticker price; "incurred" is what was actually paid (often after insurance adjustments). HoLaCe tracks both and lets you pick which one a demand letter uses — your firm sets the default.

  Deep dive: [Medical, Damages & Settlement → Damages Calculation](/legal-workflow/damages-tracking) covers the full damages model, including how non-economic damages are estimated, how lien-reduced bills factor in, and how the demand-letter generator picks numbers.
