One of the basic heads of damages in contract and tort. Now a term of art with no precise difference between pain on the one hand and suffering on the other. It has been suggested that pain is the immediately felt effect on the nerves and brain as a consequence of some lesion or injury to part of the body, while suffering is distress that is not felt directly as being connected with any bodily condition. It includes fright at the time of injury, fear of future incapacity, possible death, insanity or inability to make a living. 2, record 1, English, - pain%20and%20suffering
