What is the current state of the law on sentencing in personal injury cases?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Norkon, 212 Cal.App.3d Supp. 8, 261 Cal.Rptr. 678 (Cal. Super. 1989):

Moreover, trial courts are traditionally afforded wide discretion with regard to sentencing matters. (See, e.g., People v. Keogh (1975) 46 Cal.App.3d 919, 933-934, 120 Cal.Rptr. 817.) Such discretion is abused only where the court's action exceeds the bounds of all reason, all circumstances being considered. (Id. at p. 934, 120 Cal.Rptr. 817.)
