Economic Damages
These damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, can be easily quantified for economic recovery.
Non-economic Damages
These are more difficult damages to quantify, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. California has no cap on the economic damages that can be awarded in a personal injury case.
However, there is a cap on the amount of non-economic damages that can be granted, currently $350,000 for an individual and $700,000 for a wrongful death case. The amount of damages you can collect will depend on many factors, including the injury’s severity, the damages’ extent, and the defendant’s fault percentage.
The plaintiff’s negligence can reduce damages. If the plaintiff somehow contributed to the accident’s fault, the amount of damages they can recover will be less.
According to the California Bar, the average injury lawsuit in California is $50,000.00. Over 80% of cases are settled out of court, but a large majority of those are because not all California personal injury attorneys go to trial.
Bisnar Chase will always do what best serves you, including going to trial if needed.
