In this video, I define pain and suffering in a personal injury case as either temporary or permanent. Temporary pain and suffering might last a month or two, maybe three, while permanent pain and suffering could extend for three months up to a lifetime.

Typically, medical doctors assess this, but often, people have an idea early on whether an injury will be long-term. Working with a lawyer and talking through your pain and suffering in critical in a personal injury case.
