How to prove your personal injury case

In most personal injury cases, the plaintiff must prove three elements in order to obtain damages:

  1. The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care
  2. The defendant broke that duty via negligence
  3. The defendant’s fault was a significant factor in producing the injury (“causation”).

When a person fails to act as a reasonably cautious person would in the same scenario, he or she is being negligent.

Potential damages that can be recovered in a California personal injury attorney

There are two main types of damages that can be recovered in a California personal injury case: compensatory and punitive. Compensatory damages are money paid by a wrongdoer to compensate a victim for their losses. Punitive damages, on the other hand, are meant to penalize the defendant and deter others from engaging in similar activity.

The two types of compensatory damages

Compensatory damages, often known as real damages, are divided into two categories in California accident and injury cases:

  • Non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering
  • Economic damages, such as medical expenses, property damage, and lost income

The “economic damages” of a plaintiff are those to which a monetary value may be easily assigned. Economic damages, also known as special damages, are intended to compensate the plaintiff for any “out-of-pocket” expenses he or she has incurred or will incur in the future.

Among the most common economic losses include (but are not limited to):

  • Medical expenditures
  • Property damage
  • Lost income / lost earnings
  • Lost earning capability

Non-economic damages are ones that do not need any out-of-pocket costs. Non-economic damages, sometimes known as general damages, cover more subjective losses such as:

  • Pain and suffering Emotional anguish
  • Physical impairment (such as the loss of use of a limb or organ)
  • Disfigurement
  • Unjust difficulty
  • Inconvenience
  • Loss of pleasure of life
