Psychological injuries can result directly from an injury, such as post-traumatic stress following a traumatic event, or indirectly, stemming from the loss of enjoyment of life due to ongoing physical limitations. Whether caused by someone else’s negligence or exacerbated by an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for psychological conditions like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or anxiety.
Depression often manifests as feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, particularly when injuries prevent normal activities. PTSD symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance of triggering situations. Anxiety may lead to chronic worry, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping.
Treatment for psychological injuries often involves long-term therapy and medication, especially when coupled with chronic physical pain. While compensation for such injuries is relatively new in Canadian law, our team at MacIsaac & Company is experienced in handling these complex cases. We work with experts in psychology and psychiatry to provide the necessary medical evidence to support your claim and secure maximum compensation for your suffering.
