A quick definition of Specials:

Specials: Specials refer to special damages, which are specific and quantifiable losses that a person has suffered as a result of someone else's actions. These losses can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other costs that can be directly attributed to the incident. Special damages are different from general damages, which are more subjective and cover things like pain and suffering.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Specials refer to special damages, which are specific and quantifiable losses that a plaintiff has suffered as a direct result of the defendant's actions. These damages are unique to each case and can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other out-of-pocket expenses.

Example: If a person is injured in a car accident caused by another driver, they may be entitled to special damages such as medical bills, physical therapy costs, and lost wages from time off work. These damages are specific to the individual and can be calculated based on the actual costs incurred.

Explanation: Special damages are different from general damages, which are non-monetary losses such as pain and suffering. Special damages are quantifiable and can be calculated based on actual expenses incurred by the plaintiff. The example illustrates how special damages can be awarded in a personal injury case to compensate the plaintiff for specific financial losses they have suffered as a result of the defendant's actions.
