Under California state law, there are various types of compensation that can be sought. These include economic damages, non-economic damages and punitive damages. Economic damages are those costs to you that are the result of the injuries you sustained. These include all medical costs, both now and estimated for the future, as well as hospital bills, medications, loss of income from work and future estimated losses, as well as other costs, based upon your case. The non-economic damages are those that impact you personally - pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, emotional distress, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life and more. Some injury claims allow for punitive damages to be sought - this is an amount of money intended to punish the responsible party.
Insurance companies "value" claims at a certain level. The process includes a valuation of medical care and other related expenses, lost income due to the inability to work as well as the time involved in treatment to attempt to resolve the condition, any permanent disability, as well as the impact on the individual's life. This covers areas such as your ability to continue in your profession, whether the accident or injury caused you to miss school, vacations, or other events, and the emotional damages. Emotional damages involve the stress, pain, impact on family relationships, anxiety, and others. Insurance companies will multiply the costs of your medical treatment by a certain number to come up with a settlement amount. They may come in far too low. If so, they will hear about it from our attorney.
Each injury case must be evaluated on an individual basis to determine the amount to pursue for the injured victim. Our attention to detail and high level of experience in these negotiations could be of great benefit to you with regard to the final settlement. We know how insurance companies operate, and how to "hold their feet to the fire" and get the job done in mediation or arbitration. When entering these negotiations, the insurance company representatives do look over our qualifications. When they do, they know we are professionals and have achieved some significant victories.
