What is a monetary lawsuit?

Very simply, it is a lawsuit that seeks money in return for the wrong the defendant is alleged to have done. The most common example is a car accident case where the plaintiff seeks a money judgment for pain and suffering and reimbursement of medical expenses. This type of lawsuit is distinguished from one seeking what is called "equitable relief". This type of lawsuit asks the court to make the defendant do something he/she was obligated to do, or set aside a will, or oder a property partitioned and other types of things other than just giving money.

If you are injured in an auto accident will you have to sue to recover pain and suffering damages?

State laws on the recovery of damages for pain and suffering vary greatly. In lieu of a lawsuit, I recommend mediation (I happen to be a certified mediator--doesn't work with insurance companies) or arbitration (which can be binding or non-binding). However, a lawsuit will likely be the only way you will be able to collect pain and suffering if you are battling an insurance company. A personal injury lawyer in your area can give a free consultation (see the yellow pages) and inform you of your state's laws on damages for pain and suffering, as well as any alternative dispute resolution forums in your area.
