The answer is yes, you can. At Jeffress Law, PC, experienced attorneys Christopher W. Jeffress and Gregori Csintalan help people in Boulder, Longmont, and nearby Colorado areas explore their options for filing an emotional distress claim.
What Is Emotional Distress in Personal Injury Cases?
Emotional distress refers to the psychological harm you may experience after a traumatic event, such as a car accident or slip-and-fall. This can include feelings of anxiety, sleeplessness, depression, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The emotional aftermath can affect your ability to enjoy daily life, perform at work, or maintain relationships. Although these injuries are invisible, they’re no less real than physical ones.
How Do You File a Claim for Emotional Distress?
When filing a claim for emotional distress, you’ll need to be able to show that your emotional suffering is tied to the physical injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. For example, if you were involved in a car accident, you may be able to include emotional trauma, such as anxiety or depression, in your personal injury lawsuit.
Start by keeping detailed records of how you’ve been feeling, including any treatments or therapy you’ve undergone. An experienced attorney can help you gather the necessary evidence and ensure that your emotional distress is properly accounted for in your case. They’ll support you as you go through the process of seeking compensation.
