You are hurt in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident that was no fault of your own, and people keep telling you that pain and suffering is part of the calculation for you to collect damages.

What is pain and suffering?

This is a question that we often hear at Feiner & Lavy. Anybody who is curious will ask a question about this, and it’s perfectly natural. Pain and suffering is a term that is a catch-all for damages that aren’t out-of-pocket expenses, like medical treatment, or estimated dollar losses, like loss of wages. In New York, this includes all non-economic damages, including inconvenience, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment of life, which is when a person can no longer participate in activities that once brought him pleasure.

And, as the term indicates, it is also for the pain and suffering that someone experiences as a result of an injury. It speaks volumes about the fairness of our legal system that it assigns a dollar value to how horrible you will feel after you suffer an injury. Pain and suffering are quite real, as the attorneys at Feiner & Lavy know all too well. In fact, as one of the Bronx’s top personal injury law firms, we have a lot of experience in understanding pain and suffering, and we know how to put a dollar figure on it.

Isn’t it wrong to collect money for suffering?

There are people whose idea of fairness isn’t for a wrong to be righted, but only for themselves to benefit by denying you your rights. And people who feel this way usually have a big interest in you not being compensated fairly if you’ve been injured. They have spent a lot of money trying to send a message that payments pain and suffering are a bad thing and unpatriotic. We think it’s just nonsense.

These people would like you to go it alone and not use a top law firm like Feiner & Lavy. If you go it alone, you will be facing people whose job it is to deny you any sort of payment, especially for pain and suffering. The building owner, manager, their attorneys and insurance companies are professionals who will try to stop you from getting so much as a penny or maybe they’ll make a small offer just to make you go away. Feiner & Lavy is used to fighting these guys – it’s what we do. We will fight these guys as hard as we can to get you the maximum settlement.
