What Damages Can I Recover in an El Cajon Personal Injury Case?
The type of damages you can claim, and the amounts involved, will vary from case to case. Broadly speaking, the damages you can claim for personal injury from a dog bite fall under several categories. These include:
Economic Damages
These refer not only to financial losses you already experienced as a result of your accident but also to future expenses you may still incur. The at-fault person or business or their insurance must pay compensation for:
- Property that was damaged in the accident
- Medical bills, including further medical treatment or therapy you will still need
- Income you already lost because of the accident and future loss of income
- If you are seeking compensation after a loved one died in an accident, wrongful death
Non-Economic Damages
The other party is especially likely to contest non-economic damages, so it is doubly important to have an attorney to help you when claiming them. They include:
- Physical pain and suffering
- The distress and heartache that come with serious injuries
- Mental health consequences such as PTSD or depression
- Loss of the ability to enjoy the same quality of life you had before the accident
- Permanent disfigurement as a result of your injuries
Punitive Damages
This category refers to damages that are intended as a punishment for a wrongdoer. To claim them, we would need to gather evidence of gross negligence or deliberate intent to harm you.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?
Directly after your accident, you may not be in a position to think about claiming damages. You may even feel you are lucky to be alive and that nothing else is important. But when you begin to think of the consequences of what occurred and all the costs and suffering you have borne, you may decide it is time to recover what is due to you.
You cannot delay for too long. Although the law allows you to claim damages, it also sets a time limit for you to adhere to. This is known as the “statute of limitations.” In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases specifies that you must make your claim within two years.
