Pain and Suffering Damages

A major injury can impact your life in many far-reaching ways. Some are tangible, such as lasting disabilities or severe financial losses. Others are more difficult to define, such as physical pain and psychological trauma related to the initial accident or attack. Fortunately, civil law allows you to pursue compensation for both physical and emotional losses.

If your life has been affected by another party’s reckless actions, you may be able to win repayment for your related losses. The New Jersey personal injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. will fight for the full amount to which you are entitled. Call our offices today at 1-800-346-5529.

Defining Pain and Suffering

The legal term “pain and suffering” is deliberately somewhat vague so it can encompass the many types of pain that injury victims may suffer. Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for damages for injuries such as:

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, or other conditions caused by the incident
  • Temporary or permanent disabilities
  • Chronic physical pain caused by musculoskeletal or nerve damage
  • Potentially shortened lifespan
  • Reduced quality of life related to new disabilities
  • The loss of a loved one’s companionship (in a wrongful death claim)

Of course, money can never truly compensate for losses like these. However, seeing negligent parties face consequences has helped many injured people feel that justice has been done. If you are interested in taking action against a person or entity that has harmed you, our New Jersey personal injury attorneys are ready to fight for you.
