What are the costs to which the prevailing party is entitled in a personal injury action?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Merced County Taxpayers' Assn. v. Cardella, 218 Cal.App.3d 396, 267 Cal.Rptr. 62 (Cal. App. 1990):
The costs to which a prevailing party are entitled include attorney's fees authorized by statute. (Code Civ.Proc., 1033.5.) An order awarding costs falls with a reversal of the judgment on which it is based. (Purdy v. Johnson (1929) 100 Cal.App. 416, 421, 280 P. 181.) Thus, the judgment awarding attorney's fees and costs must also be reversed.
