Most people think of broken bones or whiplash after an accident. But what about the trauma you can’t see? Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a very real, and very serious consequence of car crashes, assaults, and other sudden injuries. At Lewis Law, we believe your mental health matters just as much as your physical recovery.
Common symptoms include:
• Nightmares or flashbacks
• Anxiety or panic attacks
• Avoidance of driving or riding in a vehicle
• Mood swings or depression
• Hypervigilance or emotional numbness
Can You Be Compensated for PTSD?
Yes. Georgia law allows accident victims to seek damages for pain and suffering, including emotional distress and mental anguish, if the PTSD can be linked to the incident.
With the right legal and medical support, you can pursue:
• Counseling and therapy costs
• Lost wages from being unable to work
• Medication or psychiatric care
• Compensation for reduced quality of life
How We Prove Emotional Injuries
We work closely with mental health professionals to:
• Document your symptoms
• Link them directly to the accident
• Present expert testimony if your case goes to trial
Just because an injury isn’t visible doesn’t mean it’s not valid.
