What is post-traumatic stress disorder?
PTSD is a debilitating psychological disorder that can develop after experiencing an extremely stressful or traumatic situation. Examples of such situations can include being involved in a near-death experience following a road traffic accident, serious accident at work or after witnessing a horrifying event.
Due to the stressful and often dangerous nature of their work, people serving in the military, emergency service workers, police and firefighters are often at risk.
Physical reactions that occur when you are reminded of the situation that occurred, such as sweating, nausea, or an increase in heart rate.
To be classified as suffering from PTSD, these symptoms must usually persist for at least a month. Symptoms can take some time after the traumatic event to develop.
Recovery can be slow and the severity of symptoms can vary, depending upon factors such as previous psychiatric problems. As part of a PTSD claim, we can ask the defendant to fund rehabilitation, where appropriate, so that clients can work with a mental health professional to ensure proper diagnosis and undergo recommended treatment.
How much can I claim for post-traumatic stress disorder?
