What Kinds of Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Case?

The amounts and kinds of damages you can recover when someone else injures you depend on the nature of your case and the strength of your proof.

Whatever your circumstances, a good personal injury lawyer in Sherman Oaks can maximize your recovery.

Damages injured parties can recover in civil lawsuits include:

  • Economic damages for past, present, and future financial losses;
  • Non-economic damages for pain and suffering as well as other intangible losses;
  • Exemplary damages which are meant to punish the defendant if they committed willful or egregious acts; and
  • Injunctive relief prevents the defendant from further bad acts or requires them to take corrective action.

Exemplary damages can be particularly hard to prove because you must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant’s actions were particularly bad.

“Clear and convincing evidence” is a hard standard of proof and is often best handled by a knowledgeable attorney in Sherman Oaks. 

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Recovering from injuries caused by someone else can be taxing in every area of your life. But you can’t let the pain distract you from filing a lawsuit on time.

If you do not file a personal injury complaint within the appropriate statute of limitations time frame, you might be forever barred from recovering the compensation you are due.

In general, the filing deadlines for different personal injury cases in California are:   

  • One year for libel, slander, or medical malpractice;
  • Two years for injury to your person;
  • Three years for damage to your property; 
  • Four years for apparent problems with real estate construction or improvement; and 
  • 10 years for non-apparent problems with real estate construction or improvement. 

If you are not a legal professional, it’s sometimes hard to tell which of these deadlines apply to your case.

Also, while you're trying to recover, these deadlines can pass quickly.

It’s usually best to let an attorney determine the applicable deadline for your case and fulfill it. 

We Can Also Help You with Workplace Disputes 

If you have been mistreated at work, you are not alone.

The workplace can be fraught with the potential for personal harm and financial damages.

You have the right to file a complaint against your employer if you have been a victim of discrimination, unlawful retaliation, or wage theft at work.

You must file retaliation and discrimination complaints within one year. And depending on the facts of your case, you have as few as one or as many as four years to file a wage complaint.

Your attorney can determine what deadline applies to you.

Fighting your current or former boss for fair treatment is rarely easy and often needs the guidance of a good attorney.

You can find good employment or a wrongful termination attorney in Sherman Oaks at Starpoint Employment Lawyers.
