Whether through an insurance claim or litigation, you may be entitled to recover a range of compensation, including:

• Costs for your medical care
• Lost income for the time you miss work
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional anguish
• Losses that affect your personal relationships
• Many others, depending on your situation

In California, you are entitled to general and special damages.

General damages consist of “pain and suffering” or “quality of life” damages. There is no hard and fast rule on how to determine how much money should be allotted for these damages. However, they are generally based on the type of injury you have suffered, the amount of discomfort you had to experience, and the duration of your injury.

Special damages consist of damages such as the number of medical bills you have incurred in obtaining treatment, the loss of earnings you have sustained due to the accident, the cost to repair your vehicle, etc.

Thus, the amount of money you will get is based on the type of injury you have suffered, the cost of your medical care and any other losses you have sustained due to the accident.
