Pain and suffering is a type of damages that can be filed for after a person has suffered an injury as the result of another's actions. Unlike the injuries themselves, which can be quantified based on the financial loss and medical treatment, pain and suffering attempts to appropriate a monetary value to a non-quantifiable property — the amount of stress, both emotionally and physically, that results from an injury. In a personal injury lawsuit or insurance claim, an injured party who files for compensatory damages very well may receive both economic damages (such as costs of medical treatment) and non-economic damages (such as those of pain and suffering. Determining the exact amount of pain and suffering is up to the jury or insurance company, who will take into account factors related to the accident, such as how it happened, and to the person, such as their age and whether or not they have kids.
