INJURIES - EMOTIONAL
Some people suffer emotional effects from car accidents. They may have nightmares, anxiety, nervousness, fear of driving, fear of being a passenger, fear of cars, or depression. Prior emotional illness or depression can make people more vulnerable to this sort of injury, and may influence how quickly recovery takes place. We can potentially recover compensation for these kinds of injuries. It is important that you see your family doctor to discuss these sorts of problems and to follow any medical advice, particularly regarding counseling or prescribed drugs. It is also important to discuss these problems early on with your doctor. There are various terms that refer to some of these emotional injuries, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder. Chronic pain can be referred to by such terms as chronic pain syndrome, regionalized pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, fibrositis.
