Hi Patricia! Damages for pain and suffering are typically calculated based on the severity and duration of the discomfort, and its impact on daily life.
- Severity and Duration: More severe and longer-lasting discomfort can lead to higher compensation.
- Impact on Daily Life: The extent to which the discomfort affects your daily activities and quality of life is considered.

- Medical Expenses: Costs for any health issues caused by the lack of proper heating and air.
- Pain and Suffering: Physical and emotional distress over 11 years.
- Impact on Daily Life: Compensation for reduced quality of life and confinement to one room.
- Financial Losses: Costs of space heaters and increased utility bills.
