What are "Damages" in a Personal Injury Case?
Under California Injury Law, "damages" are the compensation you recover from the liable party. Here are some broad types of damages we can ask for on your behalf, both economic and non-economic:
Compensatory Damages for Accidental Injuries in California
We seek compensatory damages for financial losses and pain and suffering. Keep a record of all financial costs you have incurred because of your accident. We will help 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 due to your accident, you can request damages. But you will in all likelihood have to sue the insurance company to get them to pay for these damages. We typically 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. Usually, an injured person can incur tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Couple this with the fact that many lose the ability to work and earn income for some time. Subsequently, loss of income and increased medical and living expenses can create a substantial barrier to recovery. Our law firm knows how to catalog these costs and make sure that you seek damages for them.
Pain and Suffering, Emotional Damages
