California law allows the victim of any personal injury to seek full repayment of all the economic losses that they suffered from the incident. When it comes to car accidents, their recovery is likely to entail an insurance claim followed by a personal injury claim, and there are many factors that determine the total value of a car accident claim. On average, plaintiffs in these cases can secure roughly 1.5 times the total amount of their economic losses. Your attorney can provide an estimate of how much you could potentially recover if you succeed with your claim.
