This worksheet is a way to see, in rough figures, how medical bills, a fault share and a policy limit interact after a Brentwood or 405 wreck. It is not a valuation of your case, it is not legal advice and it does not promise any result. Official instruction CACI 405 reduces a recovery by the injured person’s share of blame, with no half-fault cutoff in that instruction. CIV 3333.4 can take non-economic damages out of the file in the situations it names. Change the numbers and see how the result moves. Then read the deadline and fault guide and speak with a lawyer before you treat a figure as real.
Medical bills already paid
Future medical care you expect
Pay already lost
Vehicle and other property loss
A number for pain, suffering and similar harm
Your share of fault, as a percent
The other side’s liability limit
Hospital and health-plan claims against a later recovery can change the amount a person actually takes home. The medical-bills guide explains why those letters belong in the file before anyone signs a release. Uninsured and underinsured issues, including CIV 3333.4, are covered in the uninsured and Proposition 213 guide.
