Car Accidents can lead to PTSD

By David Tapalian November 24^th 2015

Many clients are afraid or embarrassed to speak about these issues with their doctors or their lawyer. Some seem to think having nightmares, nervousness, and fear of driving are just regular results of an auto accident in RI or Mass. Some people think post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) only happens to soldiers who have fought in battle. Well I can assure you that a traumatic accident often leads to PTSD.

However, like all aspects of your claim for damages against the person that caused the accident, you must treat to get better and to receive compensation for your injuries. PTSD can last for a week, month or sometimes years. What many clients are surprised about is that you can treat for PTSD due to a car accident in RI and Massachusetts and you can also receive compensation. Here at Tapalian Law we will guide you through the entire process. We are engaged with your treatment throughout.
