Personal Injuries in Orange County

In Orange County, over 14,000 injuries occurred due to automobile accidents in 2007.  If you are involved in a car accident and are injured in Orange County, Proposition 213 may come into play. 

California Proposition 213 (Civil Code Section 333.4) was passed in 1996.  It states that if you are not at fault in a car accident and you do not have automobile liability insurance, you can collect compensation for economic expenses such as medical bills and lost wages that were a result of your injuries. However, you cannot collect compensation for a non-economic loss such as your pain and suffering or functional loss that resulted from your injuries. 

Under Proposition 213, if it is determined that the driver at fault was driving under the influence of alcohol, you could collect compensation for both economic and non-economic expenses.  Also under Proposition 213, you can collect compensation such as when you are a passenger or a pedestrian when you were injured in an accident involving a motor vehicle in Orange County.
