List unpaid care claimed as detriment and record that no statutory threshold was opened
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the care notes the lawyer supplies, list who provided the care, the hours, and whether the care was paid. Do not apply a threshold and do not value the care.
- What the lawyer must review
- California Civil Code § 3333 measures tort damages, except where the Code expressly provides otherwise, as the amount which will compensate for all the detriment proximately caused, whether it could have been anticipated or not. Section 1714(a) is the ordinary-care section under which that liability can arise. Neither opened section states an hours threshold, a weekly cap, or a bar on unpaid care. You decide whether unpaid care is detriment proximately caused and what it is worth. Do not import a gratuitous-care threshold from an Australian civil liability statute.
