When someone is injured due to another person’s negligence, the damages go beyond just physical injuries. Emotional distress—such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress—can have a lasting impact on a person’s well-being. At the Law Office of Ball & Yorke, we help individuals in Ventura understand their legal rights and pursue full compensation for all damages, including emotional distress.

In California, you can pursue compensation for emotional distress under two main legal theories:

If emotional distress is proven, it can be included in your overall claim for non-economic damages. These damages are intended to compensate for pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life. While every case is different, emotional distress can sometimes represent a significant portion of the final settlement or judgment.
At the Law Office of Ball & Yorke, we understand the profound emotional toll that personal injuries can cause. We’re here to help you explore your legal options and fight for the compensation you deserve—both physically and emotionally.
