How to Calculate Damages for Nerve Injury in Your Claim
Damages for nerve injuries are typically calculated as part of the pain and suffering damages in a claim. These human losses are some of the more challenging damages to quantify. They also comprise a significant proportion of the damages in a nerve injury case.
Human losses can involve not just the physical pain that the person suffers, but also the mental suffering, physical impairment, inconvenience, emotional distress, and the anxiety that he or she suffers. When people suffer from nerve injuries, they may be dealing with chronic and consistent pain while performing even the most basic activities. They also may be dealing with functional impairment or loss of sensation. These types of injuries go hand in hand with the emotional and mental suffering that comes with persistent symptoms on a daily basis.
