How much money can you sue for pain and suffering? As a general rule in the employment discrimination context, you have two forms of pain and suffering. First, there exists a garden variety emotional distress claim where you assert the claim but do not need to find and obtain a medical opinion by a therapist or psychiatrist.  Generally, these claims are worth $30,000-$50,000.  The second type of emotional distress claim is one that is worth more than $50,000 up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the factual circumstances.
