Types of Damages Recoverable in California Personal Injury Claims

The legal term damages refer to the costs associated with an injury or loss caused by the negligence or wrongful act of another. For instance, if you were hurt in a car accident caused by a distracted driver, you may be able to claim damages for emergency medical care, diagnostic imaging, surgeries, and other medical expenses, any lost wages, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. In the state of California, personal injury claimants can pursue compensation for economic, non-economic, and exemplary damages including:

• Past and future medical bills;
• Lost wages;
• Loss of earning capacity;
• Property damage;
• Emotional distress;
• Loss of consortium (i.e. loss of companionship with a family member);
• Disability;
• Loss of enjoyment; and
• Exemplary (or "punitive") damages.

The amount of compensation you may be able to recover will depend on the extent of your injuries, the permanence of your injuries, whether you suffered scarring or disfigurement, the specific cause of your collision, and many other factors. Although no attorney can guarantee a particular outcome for your case, the skilled legal team at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers will make sure your claim includes all potentially recoverable damages, and we will gather all available evidence to help you prove them. We can also arrange testimony from accident reconstruction experts, medical experts, financial experts, and other expert witnesses.

How Harris Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help Accident Victims

The purpose of injury awards is to make the plaintiff "whole" again. While nothing can erase the pain and emotional trauma associated with a personal injury, the attorneys at HPI are committed to recovering the monetary losses associated with your injury in addition to compensation for intangible injuries such as pain and suffering. Our lawyers will handle correspondence with the insurer, gather important evidence that will strengthen your claim, calculate your damages, and handle settlement negotiations. And while insurance companies may try to "low ball" claimants who lack representation, the presence of an experienced litigator sends the message that you're willing to go to trial if they don't offer a fair settlement. The lawyers at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers will help you avoid mistakes that would harm your claim. We will gather evidence that you might have otherwise overlooked and will tailor our legal strategies to the specific facts of your case.
