Because car accidents so often produce grievous, disabling physical injuries, the victim’s emotional trauma of the experience and the aftermath often gets overlooked. Alabama law permits car accident victims to file a claim for economic damages (medical bills, car repairs, etc.) and non-economic damages, which cover your pain and trauma. These are more difficult to get from the insurance company than material damages, but you can trust our emotional and psychological trauma lawyer to help you get a fair sum for these intangible damages. Call Marsh | Rickard | Bryan, LLC today for a consultation.
Emotional And Psychological Trauma Lawyer
The sudden impact of a car crash, then the fear of losing control, followed by the realization that you’re badly injured, is incredibly traumatic. If you’re like most victims, you have recurring nightmares about the crash or may have flashbacks or feel panicked when you drive near the location where the crash happened. It’s not unusual for people involved in a serious car crash to have fears of driving, period, which can have a detrimental effect on your life, especially if you need to be able to drive to work or care for your family.
Emotional trauma from a car wreck isn’t limited to post-traumatic stress from the event. Many people suffer severe, disabling injuries in the wreck, and this change in their abilities and quality of life can often trigger an onset of depression and anxiety. Treating the mental health concerns that develop after a car crash often takes longer, with less certainty of success, than treating your physical injuries.

We seek a fair amount to help you get the right care and rebuild your life after the crash.
