The term Pain and Suffering is a legal term that is used to describe or place value on the physical and emotional stress that was the direct result of an injury to an individual. This is used to place compensatory value on an injury that someone has suffered. Possible damages that may fall within this grouping may include, but not limited to, are aches both permanent and temporary that limit one’s activity, a possible reduction in one’s life, possible scarring, and mental depression. Lawsuits that are filed in the response to an injury often seek some form of compensation. This can be a monetary compensation for money that was lost (medical bills, loss of work) and for the stress related to the pain associated with the injury at hand.
