Actual damages represent the compensation for losses incurred as a direct result of condemnation of private property. These damages cover only the tangible and concrete losses, excluding any indirect, severance, or consequential damages.
Compensatory damages are awarded in legal cases to compensate for actual losses or damages suffered by the injured party, aiming to make them whole again. These damages cover measurable losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and repair costs, and do not include punitive or non-economic damages.
