Recovering for Pain and Suffering in Pennsylvania
The term "pain and suffering" is a broad legal term that encompasses a number of different aspects of an injury. In Pennsylvania, pain and suffering includes:
- Physical pain
- Mental anguish
- Discomfort
- Inconvenience
- Emotional distress
You may be awarded damages for pain and suffering you have endured from the day you were injured until the day the trial ends. In addition, you may also be compensated for pain and suffering you will endure in the future because of your injuries.
The amount that you recover for pain and suffering is completely up to the jury. Juries are not required to award anything for pain and suffering. As an experienced trial lawyer, Jim Rosato will work hard to build a strong case to show the jury that you deserve pain and suffering compensation.
Building the Case for Pain and Suffering
Whether a case is resolved through settlement with the insurance company or the case goes to court, evidence must be gathered and presented in a way that shows you deserve to be compensated for pain and suffering. When you hire Rosato Law Offices, attorney Jim Rosato will put his nearly 30 years of experience to work building your case.
We will use a variety of witnesses to help establish the extent of your pain and suffering. Some of these witnesses may be doctors, medical providers and other experts. Others are people who are a part of your everyday life. Testimony from people who interact with you on a regular basis is a powerful way to show the jury how much your life has been affected by your injuries.
