What is pain and suffering and do I qualify for damages after my West Palm Beach auto accident?

A: Pain and suffering is the legal term for the physical and emotional stress caused from an injury.  In order to receive damages for pain and suffering, you must prove that you have a permanent injury.  In Florida a permanent injury can be any of the following:
 
1. Death
2. The loss of an organ
3. Visible scars
4. A medically documented injury that leaves you with permanent impairment.
 
If you do not have a permanent impairment, you may still collect damages for your medical bills and injury related wage loss.
