Can You Recover Compensation for PTSD?

If you’ve been in a car accident, you may be struggling with more than just physical injuries. You may also be dealing with emotional trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  Accumulated evidence has shown that involvement in RTA (road traffic accidents) may put individuals at increased risk for a wide range of psychiatric disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety.  Symptoms of PTSD can include nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, and depression. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek professional help.

PTSD can lead to not only physical and psychological impairment but also high healthcare costs.  While it’s not always easy to get compensation for PTSD after a car accident, it is possible.

Here are three key things to keep in mind if you’re seeking compensation for PTSD after a car accident:

1. The severity of your PTSD symptoms will play a role in how much compensation you can receive. If your symptoms are mild, you may only be able to recover limited damages. However, if your symptoms are severe, you may be able to recover significant damages.

2. The cause of your PTSD must be directly related to the car accident. In other words, your PTSD must be the result of the trauma you experienced in the accident.

3. You’ll need to have evidence to support your claim. This may include medical records, eyewitness testimony, and/or expert testimony.  Make sure to get all of the contact information of any witnesses.  Save all of your receipts and doctor reports.
