Your Quality of Life
You must consider how much the mental trauma has impacted your life. In a car accident claim, for instance, a loss of enjoyment is detrimental to your quality of life, and if you’re afraid to get into a vehicle after a crash, this can factor into your compensation. Similarly, if you experience triggers, you may be able to recover for the symptoms you experience.
The more severe your mental trauma, the more you may be able to recover in compensation. However, before you can even claim mental trauma in your pursuit of compensation, you must get a professional diagnosis detailing your post-traumatic stress disorder.
