Personal Injury: Learn How Pain & Suffering Reward Work

If you or one of your loved ones has ever been injured in an accident due to another person’s negligence, you have all the rights to seek compensation for the losses. The person (a party, company) who is responsible for your injuries and damages is often liable to pay you financial compensation. When you hire a personal injury attorney, he will make sure the court is able to quantify the victim’s pain and suffering.

When it comes to pain suffering, they refer to both physical and emotional injuries a person experiences from an accident.

Physical Injuries

Physical pain can sometimes be deceptive. It may show up after a few days of your initial injuries. Since there are different types of physical injuries, some of them may turn into chronic and last a long time. Victims are entitled with a reward for sustaining pain and suffering that include both common and serious physical injuries.

Emotional Injuries

Emotional injuries refer to psychological suffering. They can prove to be more debilitating than physical injuries. Victims who survive serious physical injuries often experience psychological devastation too. These include depression, anxiety, difficulties in sleep, emotional changes, behavioral changes, anger and stress disorder.

Calculation of pain and suffering is absolutely pivotal for personal injury cases. Depending on the individual circumstances, a case can be widely varied. That’s why hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer is necessary. He understands how to take every aspect of life (that has been affected) into consideration.

How Does Multiplier Method Work?

There is a multiplier between 1.5 to 5. This will largely depend on the severity of your injuries. The insurance company will determine your past, present and future medical bills, followed by the multiplier plus your overall economic damage.
