A motorcycle accident can have some clear and tangible negative effects that have a standard procedure as to how to remedy them. One type of remedy after an accident that is less clear, though, is pain and suffering damages. Essentially, pain and suffering damages are compensation for the negative experience and outcome that you are forced to endure due to this motorcycle accident. They are a more generally applied type of damages that affects your everyday life or your life after the accident. Furthermore, there is no universal way to measure pain and suffering. It can only be based on the specific person and their situation.

Some examples of pain and suffering damages can be mental pain and anguish, such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder that you acquired as a result of the incident in question. Also, losing your livelihood or being unable to continue in that field. Experiencing a lower quality of life due to injuries or disabilities from the accident is a large component that is often cited as pain and suffering damages since it often hinders a person’s everyday life. There are physical and mental types of pain and suffering. You can prove these types of pain and suffer from an expert’s documented opinion, or the testimony of yourself or those close to you.

If you were in a motorcycle accident that resulted in second-degree burns to your body and face, you will be physically limited in engaging in certain actions in order to protect your burns. Additionally, this has a mental aspect of the mental pain and suffering, in that the appearance of burns is stigmatized into being abnormal. This could potentially stop you from enjoying your social life as you formerly did. This results in physical as well as mental pain and suffering. Your insurance will have to consider several factors which assess the severity and credibility of your claimed pain and suffering when determining its total value. Once the insurance company can determine the value of the damages, your claim can be submitted and fulfilled. We will assist you in compiling everything necessary for the best possible case.
