Pain and Suffering

Personal Injury | Pennsylvania State Law

Many people realize monetary awards to accident victims pay doctor and hospital bills, repair damaged property, and replace loss of income, but did you realize you can you be compensated for pain and suffering? You can.

Pain and suffering damages can be awarded to individuals suffering from discomfort, disfigurement, embarrassment, humiliation, or not being able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. But unlike a hospital or auto repair bill, none of these conditions has a specific dollar amount attached to it. Nevertheless, individuals can and should be compensated. In Pennsylvania, the amount to be paid is strictly up to the jury. In Pennsylvania, personal injury lawyers representing injured people cannot suggest to the jury how much should be awarded. The jury decides based on the evidence presented in the courtroom and awards a sum they believe will make the victim feel that justice has been done.
