Let's talk about why you should keep a pain-and-suffering journal.
After a serious injury, an injured person often has a long path to recovery. This can
include months of doctors appointments, physical therapy and difficulty acclimating to life after an injury.
One way to document these things and make sure that you receive the compensation that
you deserve is to keep a pain-and-suffering journal.
After an injury, you're entitled to compensation, not only for your medical bills and expenses,
but also for your pain and suffering.
In order to make sure that you get an accurate picture of your pain and suffering, a pain-
and-suffering journal can record all of these things on a daily basis.
Every day, our activities of daily living include movements such as bending, lifting,
twisting, etc. These movements can be impeded by an injury.
Some areas where an injured person generally suffers limitations can include bathing, cooking
and cleaning, family care, and loss of recreational activities and exercise.
A pain-and-suffering journal helps to make a compelling narrative for a jury and to maximize
the recovery that you can receive.
