What are the costs and fees of a plaintiff in a personal injury action?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Farkas v. 4528 Colbath LLC, B250440 (Cal. App. 2014):

After the hearing, the trial court denied plaintiffs' request for costs and fees, determining that plaintiffs were not the prevailing party. Citing Goodman v. Lozano (2010) 47 Cal.4th 1327, the trial court reasoned that because of the offset of defendants' award of appellate costs, plaintiffs did not achieve a net monetary recovery.
