“Pain and suffering” is a legal term that includes the physical and emotional problems resulting from an accident or injury.
Some claims for damages include things like:
Aches - These are deep, bellowing pains that can seemingly last forever without proper treatment.
Activity limitations - Perhaps you loved hiking, or you used to play football with your kids if an injury resulting from an accident prevents you from enjoying those activities, you may be entitled to compensation.
Depression - Sometimes accidents are so horrific and overwhelming that a person can develop depression.
Scarring - Burn victims in particular may deserve compensation if their appearance is permanently affected by their scars.
There are a number of physical problems resulting from an accident but it may be easy to overlook the mental anguish victims can experience because of the trauma of an accident of any kind. Some of these problems include:
Anger;
Anxiety;
Loss of appetite;
Mood swings;
Shock;
Problems sleeping.
