Personal injury lawsuits in California are the result of someone's negligence
toward another, (CA plaintiff) causing the plaintiff to suffer emotional or
physical injuries, property or economic losses, or other personal damages.
General negligence is defined as not exercising prudent care, under
circumstances where a reasonable person would do so. In order to prevail in your
personal injury case, your CA liability attorney must prove
negligence, that is to say, that the defendant (negligent party) was responsible
for your personal injuries, and that, but for his negligence towards you, you
would not have been injured. The following is designed to give you a basic
understanding of a personal injury claim, but please call a
us for a free consultation regarding your particular
circumstances. A California PI attorney is on call now.
ELEMENTS OF NEGLIGENCE UNDER CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY LAW: Duty, Breach of
Duty, Causation giving rise to CA Personal Injury Cases
In general, California laws governing negligence and personal injuries require
that people behave reasonably in order to protect others from harm. Legal
standards of behavior are expressed as what a reasonable person in the community
would do under similar circumstances. This "duty" imposed is based on
rationality and safety.
If a person (defendant) acts unsafely, or fails to act in a manner deemed safe
and reasonable, then he may be considered to have "breached his duty of due
care" to others, specifically to the plaintiff who
was injured.
If the defendant's breach of duty causes injury to the plaintiff then he may be
held liable for all damages to the personal injury plaintiff caused by his
breach of duty.
DAMAGES AVAILABLE TO INJURED PARTIES UNDER CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY AND
NEGLIGENCE LAWS: Compensatory and Punitive
Compensatory damages are an award of monetary damages intended to compensate a
plaintiff or injured party for economic and non-economic losses and damages
sustained due to the malfeasance of the defendant. Economic damages include such
things as medical bills past, present and future, lost wages and future lost
earning potential, and money for damaged or destroyed property, or medical
equipment needed in the future. Non-economic damages include such elements as
pain and suffering, loss of lifestyle, loss of consortium, embarrassment,
depression, disfigurement, scars, loss of emotional support, society and
companionship.
Punitive damages or exemplary damages in a California personal injury lawsuit
are awarded to the injury claim plaintiff to punish a party
defendant who committed a wanton, reckless, malicious or wrongful act causing
personal injuries and losses. Punitives, or punitive damages awarded in
California personal injury lawsuits’ judgments are also meant to deter others
from the same conduct.
