Psychiatric Injuries
Back to other compensation claims
Psychological injuries such as stress and anxiety can occur as a direct result of physical injuries sustained. Injuries that are sustained at work, in a road traffic accident or as a result of medical negligence can lead to mental damage. Our specialist solicitors understand that an injury that wasn’t your fault can result in serious psychiatric pain and suffering.
If you are the witness to a loved one being injured in a way that affects you psychologically or have been put under undue anxiety due to the negligent treatment a friend or family member has received, you may have a claim for personal injury.
Here at My Claim we appreciate that witnessing a serious injury to a loved one can cause you permanent mental scarring, but we also understand that it can be hard and even embarrassing to admit to psychological problems. Therefore our specialist solicitors are highly experienced in dealing with sensitive issues and private troubles, the advice is 100% confidential and they are obliged to remain strictly under confidence.
Successful claims for psychiatric damage have occurred as a result of pressures in the workplace. Many individuals suffer from high levels of stress relating to their occupation and an employer has a duty that extends not only to their employees physical health but also their mental health. If you have approached your employers to complain of work related anxiety and have been ignored as a result you may have a claim in personal injury.
