What is Really Considered “Pain and Suffering”?

Some clients are surprised that they can get monetary compensation for their pain and suffering.

There is no real way to make up for the pain caused by an accident, but the legal system attempts to help compensate you by providing general damages called “pain and suffering.”

This is a legal term that includes all of your mental anguish and physical pain that was caused by the accident.

Pain and suffering damages are completely separate from your medical expenses or, for example, follow-up therapy after your accident.

You have to pay for these services, so there is a quantifiable cost associated with them. Medical expenses and related costs are referred to as “actual damages” or “special damages.”

Examples of Pain and Suffering

Virtually any type of injury could be grounds for a pain and suffering award. However, most injuries must be fairly severe or long lasting to become grounds for pain and suffering damages.

Examples of injuries that might be good candidates for a pain and suffering award include:

• Aches or pains in the body
• Emotional trauma or scarring (depression, anxiety, etc.)
• Permanent or temporary limitations on body movement that inhibit activities or decrease quality of life
• Potential shortening of life

Take another example: If you were an avid gardener before your accident, but your back pain no longer allows you to engage in this activity, then your lawyer will want to know this information.

Proving Damages for Pain and Suffering

Actual damages are easier to prove because you have a bill—there was a documented cost that you paid and need reimbursed for. However, pain and suffering does not come with such a handy price tag.

That means that the jury or judge has to estimate how much your pain and suffering is worth in monetary terms.

To help the court do that estimation, your attorney will present evidence of your pain and suffering.

There are several ways that he or she could do this, and it is common to use several different methods throughout the course of a trial or negotiation.

Evidence may include:

• Having you testify about your pain and suffering
• Having an expert talk about what the average patient would experience if they had injuries that were similar to yours
• Introducing medical records
• Providing evidence of psychiatrist visits
• Showing the types of medication you are (or were) taking
• Showing photographs of the injury
• Having friends and family testify about what you told them about your injuries or pain after the accident

Slip and Fall? 5 Steps to Take BEFORE Contacting a Property Liability Attorney

Slip and fall accidents are perhaps some of the most common types of premise liability cases (an area of the law that deals with personal injury due to an unsafe or defective condition on another person's or company's property).

Before it is too late, read up on what you should do after you have suffered a slip or fall – but before you contact a property liability attorney.

1. Call the Manager On Duty

Before doing anything else, contact the manager on duty (or have someone contact him or her) and inform the manager of your slip and fall.

It is important to get an authority figure on the scene as soon as possible. Not only will this person be able to take steps related to the company's policy on handling property liability cases such as slip and fall accidents, but he or she will also be able to provide some of the information you will need to present to your attorney or, in some cases, to the court.

2. Have the Manager Complete an Accident Report

Next, request the manager complete an accident or incident report that includes all the details of your slip and fall. Be as thorough as possible when providing answers to the manager and do not be too shy to ask to add information where possible. The more details and information, the better.

Also, be sure to request a copy of the report before the manager leaves the scene.

3. Photograph the Accident Scene

Whenever possible, photograph the scene of the accident. Even if the manager photographs the accident scene, you should get your own pictures, too. Make sure you take photos from all angles and catch any factors that might have contributed to your accident such as a wet floor or puddles on the floor; loose carpet, rugs, or tiles.

4. Gather Witness Names and Contact Information

Gather the names and contact information of anyone who witnessed the slip and fall and is willing to give a statement. If possible, ask for a signed statement right then; people tend to forget details as time passes.

If necessary, your property liability lawyer can contact these witnesses at a later date; for now, gather their names and contact information, at the minimum.

5. Seek Medical Attention

Finally, seek medical attention if necessary. (Of course, this should be your first step, if the slip and fall accident was severe!)

For your attorney's purposes, be sure to keep record of:

• The exact date and time you saw the doctor(s).
• The name of the doctor(s) and medical facility.
• All medical documents the doctor(s) completes.
• Any medications or other treatments the doctor(s) prescribes.
• The exact dates and times of any follow-up appointments.

Keep these records for every doctor and specialist you see on your own or to whom you are referred.

If you've been injured on someone else's property – such as experienced a slip or fall – you could have a property liability case on your hands. Contact the South Florida Leifer Law Firm at (561) 395-8055 or online to schedule a free consultation as soon as possible.

The Most Common Causes of Car Accidents in Florida

The Dangers of a Delayed Product Recall

Product recalls are major newsworthy events, mainly because they can be on a large scale, and often they don’t happen until or unless someone gets hurt or killed. It is not always the case, of course. Currently, Tesla Motors is recalling a number of electric cars pre-emptively because due to loose framing. Tesla proactively admitted to the error and is repairing it.

This seems to be the exception to the rule, however. Product or food recalls are noteworthy because they often imply that something has already happened or will happen imminently. For the sake of the company and its customers, it is a safe route to be aggressive with recalls and be prompt.

What can happen if recalls are delayed? And what might be the liability issues associated with a delayed recall?

We have a couple of real-life examples of what is possible, and we’ll get to watch the headlines together in the coming months and years. Federal investigators are looking into a couple of delayed recalls currently – one at General Motors over ignition switches that was noticed before 2010; and one at Graco, which delayed in recalling child car safety seats.

Products and food are recalled not by order of a federal agency, but by request. Many companies perform a cost-analysis surrounding the decision to recall. Would it be cheaper for a company to spend the money upfront to recall the food or product and fix the problem, or would they be willing to gamble that the cost of potential lawsuits would be better for the bottom line?

We hate to say it, but sometimes the bottom line, rather that personal safety and health, is favorable in these decisions. And when a recall is delayed, regardless of the reason, the company may then discover that the problem was bigger than originally perceived, and for the sake of saving face and money, the company decided to move forward with the recall rather than fight lawsuits.

• Keurig recall could affect millions of coffeemakers
• Auto recalls in 2015 could involve more than just car parts

But what if you have a product that was the subject of a delayed recall?

If you have a food or product that is undergoing a recall after you already bought and used the product, or if there is a recall that has been delayed for a period of time, it would be a good idea to contact a quality attorney who can give you the best advice for handling such a situation. Companies often are playing with fire with delays on recalls, and you need to know your rights when any product you purchase is under a recall or subject to one. Consultation is free, so it’s never harmful to get some sound advice!
