How has the court calculated the total amount of restitution in a personal injury case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Parrish, C080153 (Cal. App. 2016):

To the extent that defendant argues the order is not reviewable due to confusion over its calculation, we disagree. It is apparent how the court calculated the total amount of restitution: it simply used the final requested amount, which was reached by adding up the items claimed by the victim. This is entirely rational. (People v. Mearns (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 493, 498 [courts "must use a rational method that could reasonably be said to make the victim whole, and may not make an order which is arbitrary or capricious"].)
