We are often asked by potential clients to explain the meaning of pain and suffering. In evaluating a plaintiff's mental pain and suffering, juries are instructed to evaluate how the accident interfered with normal living, interfered with enjoyment of life, or caused impairment of bodily health and vigor, fear of extent of injury, shock of impact, actual pain and suffering (past and future), medical anguish (past and future), and the resulting need to limit activities.  Food Lion, Inc. v. Williams, 219 Ga. App. 352, 464 S.E.2d 913 (1995).  The concept of pain and suffering is one that is incapable of exact calculation.  Typically, a client that is in a minor car accident and receives minimally invasive treatment for a short period of time does not have a major claim for pain and suffering.  To the contrary, a client with catastrophic injuries, extensive hospitalization and physical therapy would have a large pain and suffering claim.  At Webb & Zagoria, LLC, we use our combined forty years of legal experience to evaluate and present our client's claims for pain and suffering in a way that maximizes the return.
