In California, there were approximately 40,000 car accidents last year. In these accidents, there are mainly 2 types of damages: Economic Damages and Non-economic Damages.
In Economic Damages, you get compensation for financial loss in an accident, such as your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and your car repairs or replacement. Compensation is provided for non-financial losses from the car accident, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life in the Non-economic Damages. In rare cases, compensation for extremely reckless behavior given by your lawyer is called Punitive Damages. If you’re in a car accident in LA, then you need a skilled car accident lawyer to understand your specific rights.
