After an auto accident, it can be tough to recover. A crash can leave you struggling with major expenses, and the emotional and mental suffering can be just as serious. That leaves you dealing with major losses and few ways to deal with them.
You’ll need to recover compensation, which is especially difficult for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from their accident. They’ve suffered mentally and physically, and they’ll need compensation that covers both their economic and non-economic damages.
If you’re struggling with your auto accident claim, reach out for help with recovering your compensation. A lawyer can help you move on with your life after your car accident.
Recovering Your Financial Damages
When you’ve been injured in a car crash, it might be overwhelming just to look at the costs of your claim. You’ve been badly injured, and now you’ll also need treatment for your post-traumatic stress disorder.
Unfortunately, treatment can be expensive. Because PTSD can be so traumatic, you’ll need to seek out medical attention and mental care as soon as possible. Regular visits to a counselor can get expensive, however, and your doctor may recommend medication, which can also be pricey. Generally, the two are most effective together, but medication and therapy can be costly.
As such, you’ll need to find the costs of your treatment plans and add them together. Be sure that your lawyer also includes future treatment, since it takes time to properly treat PTSD. Your lawyer can help you find the total cost of your PTSD care and how much you should receive for that treatment.
The Cost of Your Non-Economic Damages
Unfortunately, your medical care isn’t the only loss you’ve suffered. In fact, much of your suffering from PTSD is intangible. You’ll also need compensation for your non-economic damages, which cover the losses that weren’t financial but are still affecting your life.
For example, after your auto accident, you might be suffering from severe nightmares that make it impossible to sleep through the night. Your symptoms are affecting your job and your enjoyment of your life. PTSD can also cause anxiety and depression, both of which can be traumatic to experience.
While you might understand how bad the damages you’re experiencing are, you might not be sure how much they’re worth from a legal and financial standpoint. That’s why you’ll need a lawyer: They have the tools you need to find the full worth of your non-economic losses.
