Pain and Suffering

Experiencing an unprecedented accident can be traumatic in many ways. Fortunately, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Under California law, you may be able to file for pain and suffering damages.
You have up to two years to file a claim for non-economic damages. In case of medical malpractice, you have up to three years. There is no cap on the amount awarded in most cases. However, there can be exceptions. You may not be familiar with these California laws; however, the California Trial Attorneys are.
