Can I Recover Compensation for PTSD After a Car Accident?

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

In a serious car accident, not every injury you experience is physical. Yes, you’ve likely suffered some major financial losses, as well as injuries that will take years to fully recover from. But, that doesn’t mean that your mental strain shouldn’t be compensated, as well.

Car accidents are traumatic experiences, and they can be difficult to recover from. Because most people focus on the monetary losses suffered, you might be left asking, “Can I recover compensation for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a car accident?”

The answer is yes, although calculating the monetary value of intangible suffering isn’t easy. Seek out a lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates if you’re not sure how to recover compensation for these damages.

PTSD Will Affect Your Life

PTSD is a serious condition, and it’s one that can affect your health, happiness, and mental state for years after your car crash. Often, it requires treatment, and if not treated properly, you might find yourself struggling to manage the symptoms.

If you weren’t the one who caused the car accident, you shouldn’t have to pay for any treatments you needed to manage your symptoms and deal with your condition. For some, this treatment might require counseling with a professional, medication to manage the symptoms, and ongoing therapy to manage everyday situations that now seem insurmountable.

PTSD can affect every aspect of your life, and each of those losses should be included in your Utah injury claim.

Non-Economic Damages for PTSD

When you’ve suffered a condition that affects your mental state, you should also receive damages for that emotional pain and suffering, as well. Utah offers non-economic damages to injured residents, meaning that you should receive compensation for your intangible losses, as well as financial losses.

Unfortunately, these losses, like emotional trauma, can be tough to calculate. You’ll need to seek out compensation for your non-economic losses with the help of a car accident attorney. They’ll have the tools you need to prove how serious your PTSD is and how much you deserve in recompense.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
