Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering refer to the physical and emotional distress one experiences due to injury, illness, loss, or difficult circumstances. Pain is typically associated with physical sensations, while suffering encompasses the broader emotional and mental anguish that can accompany pain or adverse situations. In legal contexts, pain and suffering can represent damages that victims may seek for their experiences, acknowledging not just tangible injuries but also the profound impact on quality of life, mental well-being, and emotional stability. It emphasizes the holistic nature of recovery, addressing both body and mind.
