When you’re injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, part of your compensation will cover your ‘pain, suffering, and loss of amenity’. While it will be awarded as one sum, this aspect of your compensation can be broken down into one amount for your pain and suffering and another for your loss of amenity. Your pain and suffering are subjective, and your compensation will be based on how your injuries affected you. Your loss of amenity refers to how your injuries impacted your ability to perform day-to-day tasks.
