Understanding Your Rights After a Major Collision in California

In California, victims of serious car accidents may be entitled to compensation that includes medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, and property damage. These economic damages are typically supported by documentation such as receipts and wage records. Additionally, non-economic damages may be awarded for intangible losses like pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life. The amount and type of compensation depend on the details of the case, including the extent of injuries and specific facts of the incident.
