How much recovery can a plaintiff recover from a motor vehicle accident?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Curlender v. Bio-Science Laboratories, 106 Cal.App.3d 811, 165 Cal.Rptr. 477 (Cal. App. 1980):
The extent of recovery, however, is subject to certain limitations due to the nature of the tort involved. While ordinarily a defendant is liable for all consequences flowing from the injury (Custodia v. Bauer, supra ), it is appropriate in the case before us to tailor the elements of recovery, taking into account particular circumstances involved (as was done in Stills v. Gratton, supra ).
