Introduction
The aftermath of a car crash can be devastating. You may have medical bills and vehicle damage to deal with, but you could also suffer from PTSD after a car accident in the form of flashbacks and nightmares. If you’ve experienced these symptoms after being involved in an accident, you should talk to a car accident lawyer to understand how much compensation is available through a lawsuit.
Can I Sue for PTSD After a Crash?
Yes, you can sue for PTSD after a crash. You will need to prove that the crash caused the disorder with medical documentation from your doctor or therapist. You may be able to recover pain and suffering compensation and money damages to pay for your medical bills and to reimburse you for income you couldn’t earn because your PTSD has prevented you from going back to work.
