While economic damages, such as payment for past and future medical expenses and wage loss, are an important part of most personal injury cases, the importance of effectively proving pain, suffering, and emotional distress damages should not be underestimated.
At Broderick Law, we excel at presenting pain, suffering, and emotional distress damages in a way that makes it easy for a jury to understand in a compelling way. This enables significant awards for the damages caused by these non-economic damages.
For example, in the case of Melgoza v. Pompey, Broderick Saleen obtained a jury verdict of $5.15 million dollars based solely on emotional distress, psychological pain and suffering damages. Broderick Saleen was able to garner such a high value award by presenting to the jury the true and full nature of each of the harms and losses caused to the victim through the use of several witnesses who saw the victim’s suffering, and effectively described the changes to every aspect of the victim’s life that were caused by the incident. While that case involved breach of privacy and sexual harassment, this same skill set, of painting a full and complete picture of harms and losses caused by an event through detailed before and after comparisons, goes into proving up and presenting non-economic damages for all types of personal injury matters. The attorneys at Broderick Saleen know how to maximize the value of personal injury cases by putting pain, suffering, and emotional distress at the forefront.
