Pain and Suffering

The purpose of this award is to compensate the injured person for past and future pain, suffering, inconvenience and loss of enjoyment of life as a result of his or her injuries. There is no formula whereby a particular injury brings about a fixed and certain dollar recovery. Rather, every award is customized for each particular injured plaintiff.

The effects of a physical, mental or emotional injury can vary widely from person to person. A particular injury may also affect the lifestyle of one person more than another. For instance, the Court may place a higher value on an injured knee of an avid skier than that of a more sedentary individual.

This is why we go to great lengths to understand the history and habits of every client, while taking the time to understand how their injuries have affected their quality of life. This is also why we maintain a leading-edge database of case law that supports our argument for higher injury compensation amounts.

We are committed to ensuring that our clients are fully and fairly compensated for all aspects and consequences of their injury, including potential difficulties that may not arise until years after the injury was sustained.
