If you’ve suffered injuries after a car accident, you may feel overwhelmed and terrified. Along with the doctor’s visits, and medical bills, you may be unable to work or perform simple tasks as you did before. The pain may be debilitating and affect your quality of life, or your ability to simply live life as you did before the accident.
If you were injured in a car accident, you may be able to receive compensation for your injuries, including pain and suffering.
What is Pain and Suffering?
While no amount of money can truly compensate someone for their pain, courts will oftentimes reimburse victims of negligence in a car accident through damages called pain and suffering.
“Pain and suffering” refers to the monetary value of the suffering from either physical pain, emotional or mental distress, or any other type of trauma that was sustained after a car accident.
Types of pain and suffering can include temporary or permanent limitations due to a physical impairment, disfigurement, mental or emotional anguish, loss of services or loss of consortium.
