A quick definition of recover:

Term: Recover

Definition: Recover means to win money in a lawsuit. For example, if someone sues another person and the court decides in their favor, they may be able to recover money as compensation for any harm or damages they suffered. This is like winning a prize for being right in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To recover means to receive a money judgment in a lawsuit. This means that if someone wins a lawsuit, they may be awarded money as compensation for damages or losses they suffered.

Example: In the case of Hillman v. Whitney, the plaintiff was awarded a judgment for more than twenty dollars. This was because the jury assessed damages on different counts in the plaintiff's declaration, and the total amount added up to more than twenty dollars.

Explanation: When someone "recovers" in a lawsuit, it means they have won their case and have been awarded a judgment. This judgment may be for a specific amount of money, as in the example of Hillman v. Whitney. The plaintiff in that case was able to recover more than twenty dollars because the jury found in their favor on multiple counts. Essentially, "recovering" means that the plaintiff has successfully proven their case and has been compensated for their losses.
