¿Cuál es la cantidad máxima que se puede recuperar en una demanda por daños y perjuicios?

marzo 29, 2023
Cohn & Swartzon LLP

Cuando los demandantes solicitan una indemnización tras un accidente o lesión, inevitablemente surge la pregunta: «¿Cuánto puedo recuperar?»

La respuesta, por supuesto, es que varía según las circunstancias de cada caso. La indemnización en un acuerdo extrajudicial, o incluso en un veredicto del jurado si el caso se lleva a juicio, suele incluir tanto daños económicos como no económicos, tal como explican a continuación los abogados de Cohn & Swartzon.

¿Qué se considera dolor y sufrimiento?

Entre los factores que se consideran parte del dolor y el sufrimiento en un acuerdo legal se incluyen:

  • Malestar físico o incomodidad
  • Ansiedad, depresión o estrés postraumático
  • Insomnio
  • Miedo provocado por lugares o circunstancias relacionados con un accidente
  • Pérdida del disfrute en las actividades diarias o pasatiempos

¿Cómo se calculan el dolor y el sufrimiento en las demandas judiciales en California?

En California no existe una fórmula única para calcular el dolor y el sufrimiento, pero los dos métodos más comunes son:

  1. Método del multiplicador: Este método calcula el dolor y el sufrimiento multiplicando los daños económicos acumulados por un número, generalmente entre uno y cinco. El valor del multiplicador suele depender del grado y la magnitud de la lesión que su representante legal pueda demostrar.
  2. Método de la indemnización diaria: Mediante este método, se asigna un valor monetario al dolor y el sufrimiento del demandante por día o por semana, por ejemplo, y luego ese valor diario o semanal se multiplica por el número de días o semanas (o meses o años) que el demandante ha sufrido o seguirá sufriendo. Por ejemplo, si el dolor y el sufrimiento de un demandante se valoraran en $250 por día y la recuperación durara 100 días, el componente de dolor y sufrimiento del caso se valoraría en $25,000.

Cabe destacar que California tampoco establece un límite máximo para la indemnización por daños morales y sufrimiento en los acuerdos extrajudiciales o en los juicios ante un tribunal de justicia.

Por qué necesita abogados con experiencia para maximizar su indemnización.

Si desea recibir una compensación completa y justa por el dolor y el sufrimiento, así como por otros daños no económicos, en su acuerdo extrajudicial, es fundamental contratar los servicios de abogados con experiencia.

Cuando sus abogados trabajen en su caso, necesitarán recopilar la mayor cantidad de pruebas posible. Al elegir abogados con una trayectoria comprobada en la obtención de indemnizaciones máximas, como el equipo de Cohn & Swartzon, tendrá muchas más probabilidades de éxito.

“No hay nada que sustituya a la experiencia a la hora de maximizar la indemnización por daños y perjuicios. Nuestros abogados cuentan con más de 75 años de experiencia profesional, y los resultados que obtenemos para nuestros clientes hablan por sí solos.”

Engaged Mr. Swartzon to handle the details of my accident. A car hit me while riding my bicycle. Referral came from my insurance agent who has known Saar for years. Communication with Saar and his team was timely. Expectations and fees were clearly stated. The negligent driver's insurance company proposed an unsatisfactory (tiny) settlement for pain and suffering. Saar took various actions and raised the settlement so my portion was 10x the original proposal, after his fees. I was pleased with the outcome. Other than me providing information and paperwork from medical providers, they did the work in handling the claims.

I was involved in a horrible car accident that was completely no fault of my own, and it has been an incredibly difficult and stressful experience. From the very beginning, Jason has been nothing short of exceptional. He has taken the time to walk me through every step of the process, answer all of my questions, and make sure I understand what is happening along the way. Most importantly, he has taken so much of the stress and worry off my shoulders during what has been an already overwhelming experience. I am incredibly grateful to have Jason in my corner. His professionalism, compassion, communication, and dedication have made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate. I would absolutely recommend Jason to anyone who finds themselves in need of a personal injury attorney.

We had a great experience having Saar as our personal injury attorney. After being in a car collision that resulted in a total loss of the vehicle, we got in contact with Saar and his team. It took about 2 years for the settlement to come through, but it was well worth it. While that may seem like a long time, our lives moved on right after the accident, and it was easy to trust the rest in the legal team's hands. They even sent out an investigator when the dashcam on our car was unretrievable. They were communicative throughout the process, even to let us know that we had to wait and what we were waiting for. I appreciated that they fought hard to make sure that a favorable and just outcome would be had. Saar and Megan were great from the beginning to the end!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Cohn & Swartzon. From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful throughout my entire personal injury case. They explained every step clearly, always kept me updated, and truly cared about my recovery — not just the case. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made a difficult situation so much easier to handle. I always felt supported and confident knowing they were fighting for me. Thanks to Jason and his team including Anson for all their hard work, we achieved a great outcome that I’m very grateful for. If you ever need a personal injury attorney who genuinely cares and delivers results, I highly recommend them!
