One of they use is the multiplier technique which is where the total amount of your economic losses is added to a figure that is usually between one and five for each day you suffer pain and discomfort from your injury.

Another way to determine pain and suffering is to give a fixed amount for each day that you are afflicted by your injury. This is commonly referred as the per diem method. In both kinds of calculations it is essential to have medical professionals verify the extent of pain and how that has affected your ability to work and socialize, to take pleasure in hobbies, and to complete household chores. It is also beneficial to keep a journal of your own and testimonies of friends and family who can affirm the emotional pain you are experiencing.

In addition to these factors testimony from a victim, as well as the report of a psychologist or doctor are strong pieces of evidence in an emotional distress case.

The calculation of damages for emotional distress is similar to that of medical expenses or loss of income. Lawyers gather invoices, receipts, and statements from doctors and insurers and calculate how much of these costs have already occurred and how much they'll accumulate in the future. This information is presented before a jury and a judge who decide what the victim will be awarded for emotional distress.
