A: The emphasis on “pain and suffering” in personal injury claims makes personal injury lawyers’ evaluations unique because they must quantify subjective, non-economic damages. Unlike other legal fields that might deal with quantifiable financial losses, personal injury lawyers are skilled at assigning a monetary value to a client’s physical discomfort, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible harms. This requires a unique ability to present compelling narratives, use medical evidence, and leverage legal precedents to justify compensation for something that cannot be easily measured.
