What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?
While the specific amount of compensation you can recover will depend on
the specifics of your case. The types of damages an injury victim can
pursue in a personal injury case, economic damages, non-economic damages
and punitive damages. Economic damages compensate the injured party for
financial losses, such as medical expenses or missed days at work due
to the inability to work. Non-economic damages, as the name suggests,
compensates the injured party for non-financial suffering, like pain and
suffering, or mental anguish. The last type of damages differ from the
first two in that their main purpose is to punish the negligent party,
as such they are not often awarded.
Talk to Our Firm About Your Case
In California, the statute of limitations on personal injury cases is two
years. The statute of limitations is essentially how long you have to
file a personal injury claim in order to pursue compensation before you
lose your legal right to do so. Every state has their own time limit.
California’s law can be found in the California Code of Civil Procedure
section 335.1. This two year time limit, however, can differ based on
the specifics of your case, which is why it is important to speak to an
attorney about your case as soon as possible. Call our firm to discuss
your case during a free consultation today.
