Pain and suffering damages, also known as general damages and non-economic damages, are types of civil compensation for the excruciating physical pain and mental suffering you experienced as a result of an injury caused by another party’s negligent actions. Not all personal injury matters are eligible for pain and suffering damages in New York and New Jersey due to insurance laws. You only have a right to receive this type of compensation if you can prove that someone else was careless or negligent in causing your injury.
