Question: 1 / 400

'Pain and Suffering' damages are awarded in what type of legal action?

Tort

Pain and Suffering damages are usually associated with tort law, which is a type of civil action for harm caused by one individual to another. This type of damage is not typically awarded in contract or criminal cases as they involve different legal principles and objectives. Additionally, although criminal cases can also result in harm and suffering, they are not intended to compensate the victim but rather to punish the offender. Therefore, the correct option is A Tort. Option B: Contract, usually involves damages for financial loss rather than emotional distress. Option C: Criminal, is incorrect as mentioned previously, it involves punishment for the offender rather than compensation for the victim. Option D: Both A and C, is incorrect as it falsely suggests that damages for pain and suffering are awarded in both tort and criminal cases which is not the case.
