What Counts as Emotional Distress in a Personal Injury Case?

Physical injuries aren’t the only type of harm after an accident. Emotional distress is real—and legally recognized.

What Is Emotional Distress?

  • Anxiety
  • PTSD
  • Depression
  • Panic attacks
  • Insomnia

When Is It Considered in Court?
You need to show:

  • It resulted from someone’s negligence
  • It caused documented psychological harm
  • It affects your life or relationships

Proving It:

  • Medical or therapy records
  • Expert testimony
  • Prescriptions
  • Journals or daily impact logs

Compensation May Cover:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional impact
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
