Physical & Mental Pain and Suffering

Physical Pain & Suffering

If you have suffered a permanent injury or have scarring from an accident due to someone else’s negligence, then you are entitled to receive compensation for the physical pain and suffering you have endured.  You are not only entitled to receive money for past pain and suffering, but you can also receive money for future pain and suffering as well.  You can be sure that the insurance companies’ high priced attorneys are going to attempt to argue that you are not permanently injured (even when it is clear that you are permanently injured).  That is why it is so important to have a competent attorney fighting for you, side by side, at every step of the litigation process.

Mental Pain & Suffering

If you have suffered a permanent injury or have scarring from an accident due to someone else’s negligence, then you are entitled to receive compensation for the mental pain and suffering you have endured.  You are not only entitled to receive money for past mental pain and suffering, but you can also receive money for future mental pain and suffering as well.  A physical injury often causes mental anguish as well.  For instance, if you can no longer do things you could do before the accident, that would be an instance in where you are suffering mentally as well as physically. The law in Florida says that you are entitled to receive compensation for that also.  You can be sure that the insurance companies’ high priced attorneys are going to attempt to argue that you are not permanently injured (even when it is clear that you are permanently injured).  That is why it is so important to have a competent attorney fighting for you, side by side, at every step of the litigation process.
