In many cases, pain and suffering damages can be equal to the economic damages you endured or significantly larger. Pennsylvania law does not limit the pain and suffering damages available to car accident victims who qualify to pursue them. It is possible to get more in pain and suffering damages than you might initially expect.

How Much is my Case Worth?

Some of the factors that may play a role in calculating compensation include:

• The severity and nature of your injuries
• How long your treatment and care will last
• Other facts of your case

There is generally little evidence to directly support a dollar value for pain & suffering damages, but other types of evidence can help. 

This includes:

• Proof of your economic losses
• Medical bills and medical records proving your required treatment & care
• Photographs or video of your injuries
• A journal outlining your mental anguish, injury treatment, and impact on your everyday life
• Medical expert testimony about your prognosis and future care needs
