What is the test for a plaintiff to be successful self-represented in a personal injury case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Patrola v. Sacramento Indep. Taxi Owners Ass'n, C087444 (Cal. App. 2019):

(Rappleyea v. Campbell (1994) 8 Cal.4th 975, 984-985.) Rather, we are required to hold him to the same standards as a practicing attorney. (Nwosu v. Uba (2004) 122 Cal.App.4th 1229, 1246-1247.) While the implications of this rule may be harsh, it is not intended to penalize self-represented litigants. Instead, it is necessary to maintain the stability and smooth operation of trial and appellate courts.
