After a traumatic event, the impact is not always physical. You may experience anxiety, fear, sleep problems, mood changes or difficulty functioning as you did before.

Psychological injuries can significantly affect your work, relationships and everyday life. If you have suffered psychological harm following an accident or traumatic event, you may be entitled to compensation even when there is no visible physical injury.

We help you understand your rights and pursue the treatment, benefits and support available to you.

Conditions You May Be Experiencing

Psychological injuries can occur with or without a physical injury. Conditions may include:

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Anxiety disorders
• Depression
• Adjustment disorders
• Trauma-related psychological impairment

Symptoms may appear immediately after a traumatic event or develop gradually over time.

When You May Have a Legal Claim

You may have a claim if your psychological condition resulted from:

• A motor vehicle accident
• A traumatic or frightening event
• A workplace or public accident
• Chronic pain or physical injury
• A denied long-term disability claim

Psychological injury claims can be challenged by insurance companies because the symptoms may not be physically visible. Medical documentation can be important in establishing the nature and impact of your condition.

Compensation and Benefits You May Access

Depending on your circumstances, we can help you pursue:

• Accident benefits
• Long-term disability benefits
• Lost income
• Therapy and treatment costs
• Pain and suffering damages

We may work with healthcare professionals to document your psychological condition and its impact on your daily life.
