Compensation for emotional trauma following a crash

On behalf of Nield Law Group, APC | Jun 27, 2017 | Car Accidents

Emotional trauma is something that is difficult to deal with. For people who have to deal with this because of a car accident, the effects can be devastating.

Think about how much you rely on being able to hop in your vehicle and go where you want to go. People who suffer from emotional trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), after a car crash can make it difficult to travel in a vehicle. Even though San Diego is a pedestrian-friendly city, you can still see why not being able to get into a car might be difficult.

Many people who suffer from emotional trauma after a car crash will have to deal with various effects of this type of trauma. From nightmares to panic attacks, the effects can be devastating and life-altering.

Some people who suffer from emotional trauma after a motor vehicle accident might think that they are only dealing with normal effects of a crash. This might not be the case. Normal effects of a car crash would begin to lessen over time. In the case of severe emotional trauma, the effects might not ever abate.

People who suffer from emotional trauma after a car crash need to seek professional help to learn to cope with the effects of the accident. This is a costly endeavor that can mean having to pay out-of-pocket and possibly take time off work.

These individuals might choose to seek compensation for the damages related to the crash. This includes the emotional trauma and repayment for the costs of mental health counseling and care.
