Non-economic damages for the physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by your injuries.

In a personal injury case:

• This includes ongoing pain, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and the impact on hobbies, relationships, and daily activities.

• There is no simple formula; amounts depend on the severity and duration of your injuries, medical evidence, and state law.

What to know:

• Keep a pain journal describing your day-to-day struggles.

• Family and friends can also describe how your life has changed.
