Personal injury is a very broad area of civil law in which many types of cases unfold, involving injuries from auto accidents, dog attacks, slip-and-fall incidents, and more. State law enables the plaintiff to seek full repayment of their economic damages as well as reasonable damages for pain and suffering. Every case is unique, and while evaluating an average of settlements for California personal injury cases may seem to provide some insight into an impending case, the reality is there are too many potential variables in any given personal injury case to make any accurate predictions. Your attorney can provide a more precise estimate of your case's potential value after evaluating the unique details in play.
