What Types of Compensation Can You Receive?

There may be various types of compensation available to injury victims in San Diego. Our attorneys strive to recover both economic and non-economic damages on behalf of every injury client that we help. This can include, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Coverage of all medical expenses caused by the injury
  • Lost income if a victim cannot work while they recover
  • General household out-of-pocket losses
  • Property damage expenses
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Loss of quality of life damages

The total amount of compensation paid to injury victims in San Diego will vary depending on several factors related to each case. Some of these factors include the severity of the injuries, how long it takes an injured victim to recover, the level of the victim’s pain and suffering, whether or not a victim can return to work, etc.

How Long Do You Have to File a San Diego Personal Injury Claim?

It is important for injury victims to understand that they have a limited amount of time to file these claims in court. The California personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date an injury occurs. This means that if a San Diego personal injury victim fails to file a lawsuit against the alleged negligent party within this two-year time frame, they will likely lose the ability to recover any compensation for their losses.

If there are any insurance companies involved in the case, please understand that the carriers have very strict reporting deadlines, often within a day or two after the injury occurs. It is crucial to make sure that injuries get reported to the respective insurance companies as soon as possible so that a claim is not delayed or denied.

What if You Were Partially At-Fault?

Injury victims can still recover compensation even if they are partially at fault for an incident in San Diego. California operates under a “pure comparative negligence” system. This means that injury victims can recover compensation even if they are up to 99% at fault for the incident. However, it is important to recognize that the total amount of compensation available to victims will be reduced based on their percentage of fault.
