Houston Car Accident PTSD Lawyer

If you’ve ever been in a car accident, you know that the emotional effects can be just as damaging as your physical injuries. Many crash victims have suffered emotional trauma such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or anxiety after their accident.

One of the worst consequences of PTSD is that insurance companies may not cover the expenses associated with it because they aren’t considered as important as the physical injuries. This shouldn’t be the case, however, as these emotional injuries are every bit as serious as physical wounds.

PTSD is a very real thing, and we understand that. To fight for compensation to help you recover from emotional distress, contact a Houston car accident PTSD lawyer from Denena Points, PC. Having a lawyer on your team will give you the opportunity to present the evidence for why you deserve compensation for your emotional trauma and treatment.

Financial Complications from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Anyone who has been through the struggles of PTSD can tell you that it can lead to many issues for your finances. The most common financial burdens our PTSD clients have experienced come from the following:

• Missing Work – When the trauma interferes with getting to work or performing duties
• Treatment Bills – The specialist expenses you face for seeing a therapist or counselor
• Prescription Medications – If you are prescribed medications to help you cope with PTSD
• Lifestyle Expenses – If your PTSD affects the way you live and the activities you can take part in

These types of expenses generally go “unnoticed” by insurance companies, so you risk losing out on rightful compensation. While you could try to present the evidence to the insurance company as to why these expenses should be compensated, they’re unlikely to take you seriously without legal counsel.

Before the information is presented, we will talk to your medical providers, examine the accident scene, and gather information from you so that your case is even stronger. Our firm will also fight for compensation for non-economic damages.

Non-Economic Damages from Emotional Trauma

While these types of damages aren’t guaranteed, the case for collecting them is strong when it comes to PTSD. Non-economic damages are those awards that are not directly connected with money. They generally include the following:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Reputable damage
• Loss of consortium
• Lost enjoyment of life

When it comes to fighting for these damages, the process can be tough. We will need to show evidence that justifies your demand for compensation. Something that will help significantly in your case is reports from your medical providers that detail the extent of your PTSD. Testimonials from friends and family about how your PTSD has affected your everyday life and personality can also be effective.
