Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Summary Judgement

I am a Pro Se plaintiff with multiple defendants and causes setting up a summary judgement as summary adjudication against one of defendants. I am trying to figure out whether to ask to proceed on damages, an Interlocutory Judgement, or partial summary judgement? I know on Summary Adjudication only punitive damages are available also general if it completely disposes where as Interlocutory may get enhanced and punitive on partial or interlocutory??

Can't answer this question on these facts. If you are pro se, remember Abe Lincoln's warning. "Anyone who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer." There is a reason that law school requires 3 intensive years of study and even then most young lawyers are not competent to practice, requiring training by more experienced lawyers.

Mr. Roth's answer is superb.

I'll be 70 in a month, and still don't know what I am doing much of the time. This is very complex.
