Recovering from an accident involves more than healing from physical wounds. One of the most overlooked effects is the emotional toll. Here’s how emotional trauma can manifest and why it matters in your recovery:
- Post-Traumatic Stress: Accidents can leave victims with lingering fear, nightmares, or anxiety. PTSD can disrupt sleep, focus, and the ability to drive again.
- Depression: Injury recovery and life disruption can lead to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or isolation. This is especially common when injuries affect a person’s independence.
- Fear of Driving: Some crash victims avoid getting back on the road, even if they were not at fault. This fear may require therapy to overcome and can interfere with daily life.
- Mood Changes: Concussions and emotional shock can alter behavior. Loved ones may notice irritability or mood swings, which deserve medical and emotional attention.
- Compensation for Pain and Suffering: Utah law allows victims to seek damages for emotional trauma. A qualified attorney can help quantify and support these claims in court or negotiation.
