Pain and Suffering Damages and Psychiatric Treatment

Attorney Kevin Costello

 

Sometimes clients will ask me, “How can I expect a jury to give me pain and suffering damages if I haven’t treated with a psychiatrist or psychologist”?  And the answer is that maybe one in 50 of my clients actually treats with a psychiatrist or a psychologist and I never encourage it unless I feel that it’s in that person’s best interest, and it usually has nothing to do with the case.

Our law against discrimination and our Conscientious Employee Protection Act protect the dignity of the person.  They protect your civil rights.  The Constitution of the United States of America and of the state of New Jersey and the laws passed under those documents are among the most important laws that govern and create and engineer our society.

If you are the victim of a sexual harassment discrimination, retaliation case the mere fact that you’ve been victimized to the core of your being; who you are is all the damage you need.  Juries respond; they understand the basic dignity of the person and your pain and suffering is evident whether you’ve treated with a doctor or not.
