Pain and suffering damages are typically calculated using methods like the multiplier method, where your medical expenses are multiplied by a factor (usually between 1.5 and 5) based on the severity and permanence of your injury, or the per diem method, which assigns a daily dollar value for each day of suffering. To prove the severity and impact on your life, critical evidence includes comprehensive medical records from doctors and specialists, testimony from family, friends, or co-workers describing changes to your life, psychological or mental health records for emotional distress, and a detailed personal pain journal documenting your daily struggles and loss of enjoyment of life. There’s no magic formula, but we consider things like the type of injuries (sprain, broken bone, laceration, concussion) you sustained, the type of treatment (ER, physical therapy, surgery) you received, how long you required treatment, and how well you recovered versus what symptoms you’re still dealing with.
