What is Pain and Suffering?

“Pain and Suffering” is what can be referred to as the intangible damages. Medical bills and lost wages are a fixed price. “Pain and suffering” encompasses the anguish you’ve experienced. It includes the emotional stress, pain, and inconveniences you’ve dealt with following an accident.

A lot of times it’s where an insurance company will try and lower the value of your claim. It’s important that “pain and suffering” connects back to your injury.

Our job, as an attorney, is to stress that the “pain and suffering” you’ve dealt with isn’t only real, but that it’s had an impact on your life.
