Can I Recover for Pain and Suffering?
Not all injuries are physical, with some affecting our ability to live a fulfilling existence. Pain and suffering damages encompass the mental or emotional trauma that an injury has had on your life. Unfortunately, since there is no inherent financial value, pain and suffering damages are often controversial. Generally, insurance companies are less cooperative in paying the full value of these claims.
At HGSK Injury Lawyers, we believe that when an accident or injury impacts your happiness, it is anything but controversial. Our Pennsylvania personal injury attorneys have dedicated their lives to advocating for personal injury victims, helping them recover for these invisible injuries.
What Counts as Pain and Suffering in PA?
Pain and suffering, also known as non-economic damages, are intangible losses that a person experiences due to an accident or injury. These losses can impact relationships with your spouse, your children, your extended family, and friends. Since there is no financial loss, pain and suffering can be more difficult to quantify, but no less real.
Common pain and suffering damages in PA include:
- Loss of companionship and society
- Infliction of emotional distress
- Inconvenience
- Injury to reputation
- Humiliation
- Permanent disability
- Disfigurement and/or scarring
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
