One of the goals of a personal injury lawsuit is to make a victim whole again – to restore them to the financial position they were in before the accident took place. A lawsuit can do this by requiring one or more defendants to pay for a victim’s losses. The law in California allows a plaintiff to demand financial compensation for two main types of damages:
Economic damages. These are the financial toll on the victim, such as the cost of medical bills, property repairs, lost wages, legal fees, and travel costs.
Non-economic damages. These are the intangible ways the victim was affected, such as physical pain, emotional suffering, mental anguish, and lost quality of life.
