In California blame for the accident has to be assigned, the person at fault is required to shoulder the responsibility for the accident. Private individuals are usually unable to bear the burden themselves which is why all cars on California roads are bound to have insurance.

As all insurance companies are big, profit making institutions and are providing cover for many vehicles they are duty bound to pay out on any finding of liability. However they have another duty to their shareholders to maximize profits and so they will do their best to limit their liability in any one incident. It is not unheard of for an insurance company to assign some fault to the victims of accidents and thus reduce their liability. For this reason the Attorneys are essential. Not only do they rigorously protect their client’s rights but they also prevent the insurance companies from wriggling out of the liability to compensate the victims.

Injuries themselves require some care. Medical bills both current and potential future medical bills should be covered. Any loss of earnings due to hospitalization or inability to carry on as before should be redressed.

Then there is the matter of pain and suffering. The really big awards that one reads about in the media are usually for very serious cases where the victim has been permanently and severely disabled in the accident. In most of the awards the monetary amount, when medical bills both current and future, nursing care, loss of earnings and changes in life style are taken into account are not unreasonable. All financial awards for pain and suffering in these cases are a scant compensation for the loss of the limb, or the scarring or the paralysis that may have been incurred.

Most awards for pain and suffering are relatively minor and the victims should thank their lucky stars that this is the case.
