Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Compensation Claims

Back to Other Compensation Claims

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ("PTSD") is an illness which can sometimes occur after someone has lived through or witnessed a frightening event, such as a serious car accident. PTSD is more common if someone's life has been threatened.

Symptoms of PTSD include the following:

• Reliving the event
• Nightmares and bad memories of the frightening event
• Avoiding being in that situation again (eg avoiding car travel)
• Difficulty in forming close relationships
• Being made angrily easily
• Guilt (especially if someone else has died)
• Having trouble sleeping
• Tenseness of muscles

Although it is common to feel some of the above after any accident, PTSD will normally be diagnosed if the symptoms are still ongoing more than three months after the event.

If you think you are suffering from any of the symptoms above you should see your GP. He may refer you to a specialist who should be able to treat your PTSD with therapy or even medication.

If you are unable to work due to PTSD you will be able to claim your loss of earnings.
