What are "Damages" in a Personal Injury Case?
Under California Injury Law, "damages" are the compensation you collect from the responsible party. Here are some broad types of damages we can seek 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 as a result 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 as a result of your accident, you can request damages. But you will likely have to sue the insurance company to get them to pay for these damages. We often 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 consist of all medical expenses incurred to treat your injuries. Commonly, an injured person can incur tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Couple this with the fact that many lose the capacity to work and earn income for some time. Subsequently, loss of income and increased medical and living expenses can create a major barrier to recovery. Our law firm is trained in how to catalog these costs and ensure that you seek damages for them.
