What is Considered Pain and Suffering in a Personal Injury Case?

Does Nevada Use a Formula to Calculate Pain and Suffering Damages?

In the absence of a compelling narrative that shows the full extent of an accident victim’s pain and suffering, a Nevada court might either set a low daily rate for pain and suffering damages which is then multiplied by the number of days required to recuperate. A victim may also be awarded a multiple of one to five times the accident victim’s economic damages to compensate for pain and suffering.

In contrast, a highly-skilled Nevada personal injury attorney will use all available facts and evidence to enhance a pain and suffering damages award, including:

• The nature, extent, and severity of the accident victim’s injuries.
• The invasive nature of medical treatments and how long they will be needed for the victim to recover.
• The psychological impact of reduced earnings and an inability to support a family while injuries heal.
• The long-term effects of injuries, particularly where the accident leaves the victim with permanent disabilities.
