los angeles personal injury lawyerIf you have been injured in an accident in Los Angeles, you might be wondering what general damages you are entitled to. These are not financial amounts for medical bills or loss of wages, these are other damages for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress, and they aren’t always easy to quantify. In fact, they are often more valuable than money. A personal injury attorney can tell you what type of general damages you can expect based on your case. This information is essential when it comes to filing your claim, or lawsuit.

General damages, like lost income and medical bills, are not limited to the financial compensation you receive. They can also include other damages that result from your injury. The amount of money you receive in a Los Angeles personal injury case depends on the type of injury you’ve suffered, but a personal injury attorney can tell you what types of compensation are available. There are no set amounts, but the amount you’ll receive should not only be based on your daily life but how the injury affects your daily life.

A personal injury attorney will also tell you how long it will take in general for the case to be settled or go to court based upon their experience. Many cases in California are heard well after the statute of limitations has passed, including car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, products liability, medical malpractice cases and other personal injury cases. The law allows personal injury victims to file for compensation in most cases no later than two years after the accident. However, for other types of personal injury cases you must file sooner. A Los Angeles personal injury attorney should advise you on the best option and the time deadlines for your case.

The law in California has provisions that allow victims to recover compensation for their injuries. While this may seem complicated, the benefits of seeking compensation for your injuries are clear. The maximum amount of general damages is determined by calculating the total amount of the physical and mental pain and suffering suffered by the plaintiff. The case value is determined by weighing your current and future suffering, medical bills, and hardships, as well as the costs incurred due to the accident.

In Los Angeles, the law defines personal injury as “physical harm caused by another person”. In some instances, the injury is intentional, such as breaking a limb. A person’s emotional health is also considered personal injury. In such cases, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was at fault and that the injury was a result of that person’s negligence. If a defendant was at fault, the victim can receive monetary compensation for his or her pain and suffering.
