Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Can I Pursue Non-economic damages for PTSD?

Yes. When someone experiences PTSD as a result of an accident caused by the negligence of another party, hiring a catastrophic injury lawyer can give their case the best possible chance of success. A lawyer can help you pursue compensation for your emotional, physical and financial damages, and negotiate with the insurance company for the fair settlement you deserve.

They will begin by thoroughly investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident to establish liability, gathering and analyzing evidence that can help strengthen a claim.
Once liability is established, an attorney will work diligently to prove the damages caused by the accident, including the resulting PTSD.

How Can an Attorney Prove Psychological trauma?

To prove non-economic damages, an attorney will collaborate with medical experts, such as psychologists or psychiatrists, who can evaluate and provide professional opinions regarding the psychological impact of the accident and its long-term effects on the individual's mental health. These expert opinions play an important role in demonstrating the connection between the accident and the development of PTSD.

What Other Types of Damages Am I Entitled to After a Traumatic Accident?

An attorney will investigate the incident to accurately value the claim and determine what other types of damages their client may be entitled to.

Economic losses may include medical expenses, therapy costs, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity. Non-economic losses encompass pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and any other negative effects on the individual's overall well-being. An attorney will use evidence, such as medical bills, employment records, and testimonies from the affected person and their loved ones, to accurately quantify and present these damages
