What is the name of your state? CA
Can anyone provide basic guidance on how to derive a fair value for an auto accident personal injury. What aspects make up special damages? I lost a lot of overtime opportunities due to my injuries, does this get put into the special damages or added on afterwards. What about future medical treatment? I just want a realistic guidline so I don't over/under value my claim. I wasn't seriously injured but have had ongoing issues with my injury since the accident.
I have medical bills, lost wages, lost overtime wages, future medical treatment. Which aspects are used to calculate general damages? I understand the multiplier factor to get the general damages, but am not entirely sure what is included in the base amount to derive general damages. Hope this makes sense so someone can answer it. Thanks.
