"26. It is difficult to measure in terms of
money the pain and suffering which is suffered by
the claimant on account of serious injuries caused to
him in a motor accident. Since the compensation is
required to be paid for pain and suffering an
attempt must be made to award compensation which
may have some objective relation with the pain and
suffering underwent by the victim of a motor
accident. For this purpose, the Claims Tribunal and
the Courts normally consider the nature of injury;
the parts of the body where the injuries were
sustained; surgeries (if any) underwent by the
victim; confinement in the hospital and the duration
of the treatment.
