Damages for pain and suffering

As any accident victim can attest that suffering and pain is one of the most difficult elements to quantify when it comes to injury compensation. These damages are based on the mental and physical pain caused by your injury, and are distinct from expenses like loss of earnings or medical bills.

There are generally two different methods that lawyers and insurance adjusters might use to calculate damage for pain and suffering in an injury case. One of the methods is called the multiplier method which is where the total amount of your economic damages is added to a number that typically ranges between one and five per day you suffer pain and discomfort from your injury lawsuits.

Another way to measure the extent of your suffering is to simply give a fixed amount for each day that you are afflicted by your injury. This is often referred to as the per-diem method. In any calculation, it's important to have expert medical witnesses verify the amount of pain you're feeling and how it has affected your ability to work, socialize, enjoy activities and complete household chores. Additionally, it's important to keep personal journals as well as testimonies from friends and family members who can testify to your emotional turmoil.

They should keep a record of their feelings, and be sure to provide it to their attorney so that their lawyer can provide the most accurate picture to an insurance adjuster or at trial.

Physical symptoms of emotional distress are easier to identify. Things like ulcers, cognitive impairments headaches, and ulcers are good indicators of emotional stress. It is also important to consider the duration of time that a person has been suffering from these symptoms. The longer time that has been passed, the more convincing the case. In addition to these elements the testimony of a victim and the report of a psychologist or a doctor are powerful pieces of evidence in a case of emotional distress.

Damages resulting from emotional distress are calculated in the same way as those for medical expenses as well as loss of income. Lawyers gather invoices, receipts and other documents from doctors and insurance companies and calculate the costs that have already been incurred and the way they will continue to be paid in the future. The information is then presented to a jury and judge who decide on the amount of the compensation that will be paid to the victim for emotional distress.
