Emotional Trauma After an Accident Is Real—and It Deserves to Be Taken Seriously
After an accident, everyone rushes to check for broken bones, bruises, or visible injuries. But what about the wounds no one can see?
If you’re struggling with anxiety, nightmares, panic attacks, or a sense of constant fear after a crash or traumatic event—you’re not alone. And it’s not “just in your head.”
It could be emotional trauma or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)—and under Connecticut law, that’s a valid personal injury.
At L.A. LAW, we take these injuries seriously. Because you deserve to heal from all of it—not just the physical damage.
What Emotional Trauma
Can Look Like
Emotional injuries can show up days, weeks, or months after an accident. They often come with:
Ongoing anxiety or fear of driving
Nightmares or flashbacks of the event
Avoidance of certain places, people, or routines
Sudden mood swings, irritability, or emotional numbness
Trouble sleeping or concentrating
Panic attacks or depressive episodes
A deep feeling that “something just isn’t right anymore”
These symptoms are common among people who’ve experienced:
Abdominal injuries can vary widely depending on the impact and force. Some of the most serious types include:
Assaults or public traumatic incidents
In some cases, a formal diagnosis of PTSD is made. In others, the trauma is just as real—even without the label.
This Is a Personal Injury
In Connecticut, you have the legal right to seek compensation for mental and emotional suffering, especially when it results from someone else’s negligence. This includes:
- Medical bills for therapy or psychiatric care
- Medication costs
- Lost wages if your condition affects your ability to work
- Pain and suffering damages
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Future mental health care
Many law firms skip over this kind of injury—or don’t even ask the right questions to uncover it. That’s where L.A. LAW is different. We know what trauma looks like, and we fight to make sure it’s recognized, validated, and compensated.
Why These Cases Need the Right Lawyer
Proving emotional trauma can be difficult if you don’t know how. But at L.A. LAW, we partner with licensed mental health professionals, collect detailed records, and work with trauma specialists to build strong, compassionate claims.
If an insurance company tries to brush your pain aside or say “there’s no evidence,” we’re ready to show otherwise—with hard proof and expert testimony.
