A: Pain and suffering damages are meant to compensate a party who has suffered injury as a result of another individual’s negligence. Commonly called “non-economic” damages, these damages cannot be calculated like their counterparts – economic damages. Compensation for pain and suffering in a Pennsylvania motorcycle accident case is dependent on factors such as the age of the plaintiff, severity of the injuries, and nature and extent of the medical treatment.
Pain and suffering damage claims include suffering as a result of:
- physical pain,
- scarring or disfigurement,
- embarrassment, and
- stress.
