What are "Damages" in a Personal Injury Case?
Under California Injury Law, "damages" are the compensation you collect from the responsible party. Here are several broad types of damages we can request on your behalf, both economic and non-economic:
Compensatory Damages for Accidental Injuries in California
We try to get compensatory damages for financial losses and pain and suffering. Keep a record of all financial costs you have incurred as a result of your accident. We will guide you so that you do not forget any costs. Injured victims often miss expenses such as towing your damaged vehicle, impoundment fees, lab fees, etc.
Permanent Impairments
If your physical health has suffered as a result of your accident, you can request damages. But you will undoubtedly have to sue the insurance company to get them to pay for these damages. We normally seek damages to pay for long-term care expenses, income loss, and accommodations you may need as a result of your injuries.
Medical Damages
These entail all medical expenses incurred to treat your injuries. Often, an injured person can accumulate tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Couple this with the fact that many lose the capability to work and earn income for some time. So, loss of income and increased medical and living expenses can create a significant barrier to recovery. Our law firm is trained in how to catalog these costs and make sure that you seek damages for them.
Pain and Suffering, Emotional Damages
This can be slightly difficult to prove without an expert injury lawyer representing you. Fear, anxiety, flashbacks, increased physical pain, and other things can continue long after your accident. We can connect you with professionals that can evaluate you for these conditions.
Other Damages
Your specific situation will identify what types of other damages you may be qualified for because of your accident. The best option for you here is to book a no-cost call with our legal team. They can give you an understanding of the value of the damages you can seek, and the best way to move forward.Our law firm represents those injured by virtually any type of accident. Here are a few of the injury cases we generally represent.
Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
Car accidents are among the most common accidents that cause injuries in California. If your accident transpired while driving or riding in a vehicle owned by you or someone else, you may have a claim. If your accident was caused by another driver's negligence, recklessness, or other contributing causes, we can help you figure out what damages you can seek. Because of the statute of limitations in California for injury claims, you must speak with an injury lawyer as early as you can.
Medical Malpractice
Medical personnel such as surgeons, physicians, or consultants do cause injuries. If your injuries are the result of their actions or in-actions, you may be able to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit against those responsible. Generally, medical providers and facilities have good lawyers and good insurance. So, before making efforts to seek a remedy from the medical profession, it is best to speak with a medical malpractice attorney to start with. Doing this will make certain you do not say anything that will hurt your claim later.

Work injuries are fairly common in California. Slip and falls, hi-lo accidents, back, and joint injuries, and others can be hard to litigate in California.
