What is the test for determining the correct amount of restitution in a personal injury action?

The court's ruling does not constitute reversible error for lack of sufficient particularity. As noted elsewhere, "determination of the amount of restitution is reversible only if the appellant demonstrates a clear abuse of discretion. [Citation.] No abuse of discretion is shown simply because the order does not reflect the exact amount of the loss, nor must the order reflect the amount of damages recoverable in a civil action. [Citation.] In determining the amount of restitution, all that is required is that the trial court 'use a rational method that could reasonably be said to make the victim whole, and may not make an order which is arbitrary or capricious.' [Citation.] The order must be affirmed if there is a factual and rational basis for the amount. [Citation.]" (People v. Akins, supra, 128 Cal.App.4th at p. 1382.)
