Pain and Suffering and Other Damages

Special Damages

The Vancouver PI law firm that is handling your case may discuss how “special damages” refer to those items that are more easily determined through an objective analysis. For example, you may have medical bills and property damage. The Vancouver PI law firm handling your case may also request information that helps to establish the amount of money you lost by being off work.

General Damages

Additionally, a Vancouver PI attorney may discuss how you can use objective evidence to help prove pain and suffering. For example, medical records may show how you were injured, and a certain degree of pain may be inferred from these injuries. Additionally, the Vancouver PI attorney who represents you may provide evidence related to prescription medication to show after the fact how you suffered. Even if you had a pre-existing injury to the same area of your body that was subsequently injured again, you may be able to recover from these injuries. A reasonable settlement offer should take your pain and suffering into account, including the pain and suffering that can be reasonably predicted in the future.
