Damages Available in California Personal Injury Claims

If you have been injured due to someone else’s actions, you may be able to seek compensation for a variety of losses. In California, these damages are generally divided into two main categories.

For your personal injury case, you may be able to pursue:

• Economic damages:
  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost income or reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Rehabilitation or therapy costs
• Non-economic damages:
  • Pain and discomfort
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Shortened life expectancy in some cases

Every case is different, and the types of damages available will depend on the specific facts involved. We work to understand how the injury has affected your life so we can present a complete picture of your claim.

California’s Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims

California law sets a time limit for filing most personal injury claims. In many cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This timeframe is known as the statute of limitations.

While two years may seem like a long time, preparing a strong case takes careful preparation. Evidence needs to be preserved, documents must be collected, and witnesses may need to be located and interviewed. Starting earlier will allow our Temecula personal injury attorneys more time to develop your case, and it may also be necessary to secure certain pieces of evidence before they go missing forever. For example, if your car accident was captured by a retail store’s security camera, waiting too long to file a claim could mean that important footage is overwritten or deleted unknowingly by the store before we get a chance to talk to them.

Some exceptions can affect the timeline, depending on the circumstances of your case. Because of this, it is helpful to speak with a legal team right away, so you can understand how the timeline applies to your situation.

California’s Comparative Liability Rule

California follows a pure comparative liability system. This rule means that even if you share some or most of the responsibility for an accident, you may still be able to recover compensation. However, your recovery may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

For example, imagine that the following applies to your case:

1. If your total damages are $100,000; and,
2. You are found to be 20% at fault; so,
3. Your potential recovery may be reduced to $80,000, which is $100,000 reduced by 20%.
