Pain and suffering compensation claims - personal injury lawyers
If you were injured or hurt in an accident or suffered a catastrophic injury, you may be entitled to make a claim for pain and suffering. Pain and suffering compensation can be awarded as damages for the detrimental effect an injury has had on your life. Stacks personal injury lawyers can help you to determine if you have a case for a pain and suffering claim.
Pain and suffering are also referred to as general damages or non-economic loss (NEL). It is a very important part of a compensation claim. Particularly for those who cannot claim wage losses, such as young people, retirees or the unemployed, pain and suffering often comprises the largest part of a compensation claim.
Unfortunately, just because you may have experienced pain and suffering does not mean you will necessarily be entitled to compensation for it, as it depends very much on the circumstances surrounding the incident in which you were injured.
For example, being injured at work can result in different compensation entitlements to being injured in a car accident or in a fall in a shopping centre, as different laws apply to each type of accident.
As there are many kinds of personal injury and every case is different, you should seek legal assistance to find out how these claims are calculated and what factors are taken into account.
