In a personal injury case, you’ll probably hear the term loss at some point. Loss just refers to:
- What the accident has taken from you, including physical injuries, emotional strain, and financial costs.
Any accident that leaves you injured in California is going to bring very real losses. That’s the main reason why you’d need to file a personal injury case in the first place. But it’s also a hard process, but our team at Maison Law can help you. Set up a free consultation today.
What Are My Losses in a Personal Injury Case?
The entire point of filing a claim–whther it’s through insurance or a lawsuit in court–is to take care of your losses. But what are your losses exactly? It’s what the accident has cost you. With that, every case is different. But generally speaking, your losses are going to be made up of:
- Medical care, from emergency treatment to ongoing appointments and therapy
- Income you’ve missed because you couldn’t work, or couldn’t return to work right away
- Damage to your vehicle or other property that now needs repair or replacement
- Physical pain and the day-to-day discomfort that comes with an injury
- Emotional strain, including stress, anxiety, or the mental toll of recovery
- Changes to your daily life, such as losing the ability to enjoy activities or relationships the way you did before
How much you’re able to recover depends on how clearly those losses are shown and supported. That means telling the full story of what the injury has changed—not just what shows up on a bill.
At Maison Law, we know how overwhelming this process can feel, especially when you’re still dealing with the losses of an injury. We take the time to explain what’s happening, what comes next, and what your options are, so you’re not left guessing. If you’ve been injured in California and want to understand how the legal process works, we’re here to help—starting with a free consultation.
