Understanding your personal injury claim value helps you navigate the compensation process after an accident. California settlements typically include two main damage categories that determine your potential recovery amount.
Economic Damages
Economic damages cover measurable financial losses:
- Medical expenses – Current and future treatment, surgeries, medications, equipment
- Lost wages – Past and future income losses
- Property damage – Vehicle repairs or replacement costs
Keep all receipts and documentation as evidence of these losses.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages compensate for intangible losses:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of life enjoyment
- Loss of consortium
