What is a Fair Settlement in Your Orange County LA Personal Injury Case?

A Los Angeles personal injury lawyer may tell you that you have two years to settle your claim or file a lawsuit after a car accident in California.  There should be no regrets when you look back at your personal injury claim.  Avoiding fatal mistakes that can wreck your claim will be critical in order to receive a fair settlement.
One of the fatal mistakes a number of accident victims have made is not keeping detailed records.  Some Los Angeles personal injury veterans had to learn the hard way.  To ensure you don't make the same mistakes keep a detailed record of all your damages.
Economic Vs. Non-Economic Damages
In a personal injury claim you will have two types of damages.  The first is referred to as economic damages and the second are called non-economic damages.  Economic damages are monetary losses that have been caused by your personal injury accident.   Non-economic damages are damages that are not easily summed up with a dollar value. 
Recording Non-Economic Damages For Your Personal Injury Claim
As mentioned earlier, it is important to keep detailed records throughout your personal injury claim.  Non-economic damages will include intangible harms such as severe pain, humiliation, and loss of companionship, and physical and emotional distress.  There may have been opportunities you have lost due to your injuries.  There may be trips you can no longer take, or hobbies you can no longer complete.
Receiving Economic Damages For Your Personal Injury Accident
Your personal injury claim will include a number of different economic damages.  Keeping a detailed record of your damages will help you to recover the maximum settlement value.  Some of these damages will include medical bills, lost pay, services that you are unable to perform because of your injuries, any loss of property, and loss of future wages.
Be Honest When Recording Your Personal Injury Damages
When recording your damages it is important to be honest.  Exaggerating your damages could disqualify you in the eyes of a jury.
