Depending on the circumstances of the case, compensation may include: 

  • Medical Expenses: Reimbursement for hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, prescriptions, and future medical care related to the injury. 
  • Lost Wages: Recovery for income lost due to time away from work, including potential future earnings if the injury leads to long-term disability. 
  • Pain and Suffering: Financial compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, trauma, and reduced quality of life caused by the accident. 
  • Property Damage: In cases such as car accidents, victims may be compensated for repairs or replacement of their vehicle or other damaged property. 
  • Loss of Consortium or Companionship: In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may receive compensation for the emotional and relational losses caused by the death of a loved one. 
  • Punitive Damages (in rare cases): When the at-fault party acted with extreme recklessness or intentional harm, additional damages may be awarded to punish misconduct. 


Ms. Choe takes the time to assess each client’s entire situation, ensuring no potential damages are overlooked. Her goal is to pursue the maximum recovery available, whether through settlement negotiations or litigation, so that clients can move forward with financial stability and peace of mind.

  • How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

    You have a valid personal injury claim when you were injured in a car accident caused by another driver's negligence.  

  • What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in California?

    In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means you have two years from the date the accident or incident occurred to file a lawsuit in court.  

  • How is negligence determined in a personal injury case?

    To win a negligence claim, you must prove that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries and damages.  

  • What happens if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance?

    If you have UM (Uninsured Motorist) coverage under your own policy, it steps in to cover your damages when the at-fault driver is uninsured. Think of it as your own insurance company compensating you as if the other driver had insurance.   

  • Can I still file a personal injury claim if I was partly at fault for the accident?

    California follows a comparative negligence system. This means that even if you contributed to the accident, you can still recover damages, but your award will be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.
