Pain and suffering (also called non-economic loss or general damages) is a legal concept referring to the physical and emotional distress sustained by a person as a result of injury or wrongdoing. It forms a component of general damages, intended to compensate claimants for subjective, non-pecuniary harm not captured by medical costs, lost income, or other quantifiable economic losses.
