How Is Pain and Suffering Determined for a Defective Medical Device Case?

Unlike economic losses such as medical bills and lost wages that you can put a specific dollar amount on, pain and suffering is subjective. The courts and insurers determine this amount based upon the seriousness of your accident, injuries, and damages. The more devastating your accident, the higher your pain and suffering damages will be.
