Pain and suffering is a legal term that refers to a host of injuries that a plaintiff may suffer as a result of an accident. It encompasses not just physical pain, but also emotional and mental injuries such as fear, insomnia, grief, worry, inconvenience and even the loss of the enjoyment of life.
The extent of your injury and accompanying pain and suffering can be evidenced through documentation such as photographs and personal journals that record the plaintiff’s physical and emotional feelings. Documentation from friends and family can provide additional evidence of the way the particular injury has negatively impacted the plaintiff’s life. Proof of treatment by a mental health professional is also helpful, and is necessary where the plaintiff is claiming injuries such as increased anxiety, insomnia, or depression.
There is no hard and fast rule for how an insurance company must calculate pain and suffering.
You will need to prove your financial losses so that you can rightfully claim the money you need to rebuild your life. The money for these losses is known as damages. Damages include easily calculable items like medical bills, and non-economic claims like pain and suffering. However, understanding how much money one can claim for pain and suffering is a bit more difficult since there are no receipts or bills.
But you deserve to be compensated for significant temporary and permanent limitations on activities. You also deserve to be compensated if your injuries can potentially shorten your life. Hence the compensation against pain and sufferings shall be on the basis of:
- Existing medical bills.
- Future medical expenses.
- Lost wages or other permanent remuneration or earnings.
