Damages for conversion are the awards someone seeks in a conversion case. They are compensation for actual losses of personal property. Conversion is depriving an individual's rights to use or possess his or her personal property.
A plaintiff is entitled to damages equal to the full value of the chattel at the time and place of conversion. The measure of damages in conversion is the fair market value of the property at the time and place of the conversion.

Generally, punitive damages may be allowed when the conversion involves elements of fraud, ill will, malice, recklessness, wantonness, oppression, insult, willful, conscious disregard of the plaintiff's rights, or other aggravating circumstances[xii].
For example, a person who picks up a necklace off the ground with the intent to resell it because they erroneously believed it was abandoned still converted that necklace. The standard remedy for conversion is return of the property in question or damages for the fair market value of the property.
