What about pain and suffering?

Another source of recovery for you is for pain and suffering. This is non-taxable money paid to you for the physical and mental distress caused by the accident. Please note your accident-related medical bills must be at least $2000 to collect pain and suffering damages. If you have less than $ 2000 in medical bills, but sustained a fracture, or scarring, then you can still bring a claim for pain and suffering.
