Hollywood law allows for economic damages, such as hospital bills and lost income, and non-economic damages, including pain and suffering. In rare cases, punitive damages apply.

Hollywood law requires plaintiffs to file a personal injury lawsuit within four years of the event. The statute of limitations is extended when the plaintiff’s discovery of the injury is delayed, the injured party is under 18, or the suit cannot be served because the defendant left the state.

Hollywood’s no-fault car insurance law requires your insurer to cover your economic damages. However, you must bring suit against the other party to receive non-monetary compensation, such as for pain and suffering.
