Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

I assume you are talking about damages for injuries. I depends on many factors. Some of the factors to consider are the severity of the impact, type of injuries, amount of medical bills, lost wages, and the restriction of your activities. There is no specific formula. But, an experienced attorney can generally let you know what your case is worth. I have offices in Riverside and Orange County. Please call me if you would like a free consultation. 951-680-1182

Personal injury damages are determined by an award of the jury. Generally for 'pain and suffering, based on the medical expenses incurred and any permanent disability, plus recovery of out of pocket expenses like lost wages. Substantial damages would justify hiring an attorney. If interested, feel free to contact me.

Personally injury settlements and awards vary. If it goes to trial the jury will award damages, which means the jury will render a verdict that specifies the amount of money the defendant must pay to the plaintiff. However, there is the possibility that a jury may not award damages to the plaintiff. There is no way to definitively answer your question because there are a lot of factors to take into consideration. Just one of the factors to consider is the jurisdiction you may find yourself in. Generally the same accident in San Francisco is probably worth more than it would be in El Dorado County.

The two previous attorneys have articulated very well most of the factors to take into consideration. Personal injury attorneys generally do not charge for a consultation. In fact, they generally work on a contingency fee base. That means it does not cost you anything unless you win. So get on the internet and starting searching out attorneys in your area. Find one you like and schedule an appointment.
