Pain and suffering settlements are a form of compensation awarded to individuals who have experienced physical or emotional trauma due to an accident or injury. These settlements aim to provide financial relief for the pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life that victims endure. Factors such as the severity of the injuries, the impact on daily life, and the long-term consequences of the accident are considered when determining the appropriate amount of compensation.

Client’s case

A husband and wife, whose vehicle was struck by tractor trailer while waiting to pay a toll, received a $660,000 pain and suffering settlement.  Both clients required spinal surgery. This settlement was achieved despite a major unexpected obstacle which arose when the victims’ own insurance company “became the enemy,” and refused to reimburse the surgeons; claiming the procedures were not medically necessary! In a subsequent arbitration, our firm was successful in overturning the denial and the victims’ insurance company was ordered to reimburse 100% of the surgery bills.
