Pain and suffering

While some expenses associated with a crash can be calculated to the penny, such as medical bills, emergency services surgeries, medical expenses and lost wages, other expenses are not. The unquantifiable damages are referred to as pain and suffering and play an important part in the compensation claim of a victim.

The emotional and physical effects of an accident are part of the pain and suffering. The injuries suffered by a victim can have a long-lasting impact on their lives, leading to permanent impairment or even death. A person suffering from a debilitating head injury, for example might never be in a position to work or perform normally. These types of injuries often warrant a large settlement.
