What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Personal Injury Claim?
The purpose of filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit is to recover financial compensation for economic and non-economic losses related to your injuries. Collectively, these losses are referred to as “damages.”
Every case is unique, but many personal injury victims are able to recover the following damages:
- Medical expenses, including future medical care costs
- Lost income, wages, and other employment benefits
- Pain and suffering, including emotional distress
- Diminished earning capacity and loss of future earnings
- Disfigurement and inconvenience
- Lost quality or enjoyment of life
In some cases, you may even be able to recover punitive (or “exemplary”) damages. Unlike compensatory damages, punitive damages are not intended to compensate victims for specific losses. Rather, the purpose of punitive damages is to punish defendants for egregious negligence or acts of wanton, willful, or intentional misconduct. Punitive damages are relatively rare; our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers can review your case and determine which types of damages you may be able to recover in your specific case.

Determining If You Have a Personal Injury Case
While some accidents are truly blameless, most are the result of someone’s negligent or wrongful actions. When this is the case, injured victims may have grounds to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the party that caused the accident.
Regardless of how you were injured, you may have a case if you can prove the following:
- Another person or party, such as a business or manufacturer, had a legal responsibility to act reasonably and take certain measures to prevent injuries/harm (known as a “duty of care”)
- The other person or party failed to uphold the duty of care, either by acting negligently, wrongfully, illegally, or intentionally causing injury or harm
- You were injured and suffered measurable damages, such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, diminished quality of life, etc.
- The other person or party’s negligent, wrongful, unlawful, or intentional conduct was the direct or proximate cause of your injuries and damages
In California, you still have grounds for a personal injury claim or lawsuit if you share some of the fault for the accident. Under the state’s pure comparative negligence rule, you can seek compensation for your damages regardless of your degree of fault, as long as you can prove that the other party was at least 1% to blame. However, if you are found to be partly at fault, your total recovery will be reduced by your at-fault percentage. So, if the court finds you 25% to blame for the accident or incident that caused your injuries, you will only be able to recover up to 75% of your total damages.
Our attorneys are prepared to gather all available evidence and submit necessary documents, forms, and paperwork on your behalf. As your legal team, we will handle every detail so that you can focus on what matters most: getting the treatment, care, and rest you need.
