What “Pain and Suffering” Means
Pain and suffering is the classic human damage: the physical pain of the injury and treatment, and the suffering that accompanies it — compensable in Texas as part of non-economic damages, for both past and reasonably probable future experience.
Why It Matters in Your Texas Case

Medical records establish the objective basis — the fracture, the surgery, the nerve damage — while testimony gives it texture: what the pain interrupts, how the nights go, which medications and at what cost of side effects. Lindsey McKay addresses proving these damages in the firm’s video library because it’s craft: understated, specific, corroborated presentation consistently outperforms adjectives. Juries — and therefore insurers — pay for what they believe, and belief is built with detail.
