California Prop 213 Limits Recovery
If you are involved in an auto accident and you are intoxicated, or fail to carry auto insurance, Prop 213 may apply to your case. Prop 213 limits the ability of uninsured drivers (among other categories of drivers) from collecting certain types of damages that result from an auto accident. Fortunately, Prop 213 does not apply to passengers. That means that if you are a passenger of a vehicle, and the driver does not carry auto insurance, you may still collect all damages you are entitled to.
Prop 213 Prevents Recovery For Pain And Suffering
If your case falls under Prop 213, you cannot recover from pain and suffering you incur as a result of your accident. For example, if you break a leg in an auto accident you cannot recover any monetary amounts for the pain and suffering you incurred from having to have surgery or living with a broken leg.
Even If Prop 213 Applies, You Can Still Get Money
Even if you are driving without insurance you can still get a significant amount of money for your accident. You can recover money for all the damage done to your vehicle, money for medical bills, and money for lost earnings. Many times our attorneys secure money for medical bills and then negotiate a settlement with the medical providers. This way the client gets money in their pocket.
