What is the range of damages awarded by the California Superior Court in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Marie-chantal v. Marie, B219129, No. BC398856 (Cal. App. 2010):
The trial court acts as a "gatekeeper" and has discretion to award damages within the bounds of those pled in the complaint. (See Heidary v. Yadollahi (2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 857, 865, 868.) The court here did not abuse its broad discretion in awarding damages.2
The judgment is affirmed.
