Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

A judgement generally means the court or jury's decision. It can be a decision in favor of the defendant (the person who caused the accident), or a decision for the plaintiff (the injured person). If the judgement is awarded to the plaintiff, it generally means that the plaintiff is being awarded money.

Unlimited jurisdiction merely means that at the time the lawsuit is filed, the plaintiff believes that their claim(s) is for more than $25,000.
