What are "Damages" in a Personal Injury Case?
Under California Injury Law, "damages" are the compensation you recover from the at fault party. Here are several broad types of damages we can seek on your behalf, both economic and non-economic:
Compensatory Damages for Accidental Injuries in California
We try to get 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 assist 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 in all likelihood have to sue the insurance company to make them 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.

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.
