Yes, you can sue for pain and suffering in Pennsylvania. Pain and suffering damages are a type of non-economic damages that are typically sought in personal injury cases. These damages are meant to compensate the plaintiff for the physical and emotional pain, distress, and inconvenience they have experienced as a result of the defendant’s actions or negligence.

“Pain and suffering” is a term used to describe the special challenges someone faces when they get seriously hurt, usually in situations involving medical malpractice or personal injury.

Pennsylvania law does allow individuals to seek compensation for pain and suffering as part of a personal injury lawsuit. However, it’s important to note that Pennsylvania does have a “limited tort” option within its auto insurance system. This means that in certain motor vehicle accident cases, your ability to sue for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering may be limited by your insurance coverage and the severity of your injuries.
