3 FAQs About Personal Injury Claims in West Hollywood

If you’ve never had to file a personal injury claim, you probably have a long list of questions about the proceedings. The easiest way to get the answers you seek is to speak with a personal injury attorney. Your free initial consultation is the perfect time to learn about the laws related to your situation, the factors that will affect the outcome of your case, and the steps you can take to strengthen your claim. Below, we’ve answered a few frequently asked questions about personal injury claims in West Hollywood:

1. What damages are recoverable after a personal injury in California?

If you were hurt due to the negligence or intentional act of another person, business, organization, or government entity, you might be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages can be verified using invoices, receipts, and other objective documentation. Examples include:

• Healthcare expenses;
• Loss of income;
• Loss of earning capacity;
• Property repairs or replacement;
• Mobility aids; and
• Home and vehicle modifications.

Non-economic damages are subjective and include:

• Emotional distress;
• Pain and suffering;
• Disfigurement;
• Physical impairment;
• Loss of life enjoyment; and
• Inconvenience.

If the party who injured you acted with malice, fraud, or oppression, you might also be awarded exemplary damages, also called “punitive damages.” These damages are only awarded in relatively rare cases that stem from particularly egregious behaviors such as car accidents involving a driver who was drunk or fleeing from police. It is important to keep in mind that every case is unique. The types of monetary damages you might recover and their value will depend on the facts surrounding your case.

2. How long will my case take to resolve?

Personal injury cases can last anywhere from a few months to well over one year. The amount of time your case will take to resolve depends on numerous factors such as:

• The strength of your evidence;
• Whether the opposing party refuses to cooperate;
• The total amount of compensation you are pursuing;
• The types of damages you are pursuing;
• Whether your own negligence contributed to the accident; and
• Whether more than one party is liable for the accident.

3. What can I do to strengthen my personal injury claim?

Although your West Hollywood personal injury attorney will handle the complexities of your case, there are steps you can take to give your claim the best possible chance of success. Here are a few examples:

• Disable your social media accounts until your case is resolved;
• Direct all correspondence from the insurance company to your lawyer;
• Follow your medical care provider’s instructions; and
• Keep a daily journal about how your injuries are affecting your well being.
