Per Diem

One of the best ways to explain pain and suffering to a jury is through a per diem argument.  (i.e. pain x number of days which is worth x amount per day).  This argument has been approved in Foradori v. Harris located here.  In some jurisdictions these type of arguments are barred but there is authority in this case that this is permissible.  The entire case is required reading for personal injury practice with a large verdict on a tragic situation being upheld.
