What are "Damages" in a Personal Injury Case?
Under California Injury Law, "damages" are the compensation you collect from the at fault 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 seek compensatory damages for financial losses and pain and suffering. Keep a list of all financial costs you have incurred because of your accident. We will support 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 because of your accident, you can ask for damages. But you will most likely have to sue the insurance company to get them to pay for these damages. We usually seek damages to pay for long-term care expenses, income loss, and accommodations you may need due to your injuries.
Medical Damages
These entail 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 ability to work and earn income for some time. Subsequently, loss of income and increased medical and living expenses can create a significant barrier to recovery. Our law firm knows how to catalog these costs and ensure that you seek damages for them.
Pain and Suffering, Emotional Damages
This can be quite 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 individuals that can evaluate you for these types of conditions.
