Psychiatric Damage Compensation Claims in Manchester

It is quite well known that if you suffer a personal injury as a result of a third party’s negligence, then you could make a claim for compensation. What is less well known is that you can make a claim for all injuries, and this includes psychiatric damage as well as physical injuries. Accordingly, if you have suffered psychiatric damage as a result of an accident that was not your fault, then you can make a claim for compensation against the guilty party. You can do this in confidence with the assistance of our personal injury solicitors** for Manchester.

Psychiatric damage usually occur following an accident where there was a serious risk of injury or death. Psychiatric damage includes anxiety, depression, phobias, and even stress. The most common psychiatric problem following an accident is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The symptoms of PTSD include nightmares, flashbacks, and anxiety. They can continue for a short period of time, or they can stay with the victim for life. The longer the victim has to endure their psychological issues, the more compensation he or she will be able to claim. In serious psychological injury cases, the victim will be able to claim over £100,000. This does not mean that the victim is limited to compensation for their psychiatric damage, a victim can claim for their physical injuries as well.

In addition, the victim can also claim compensation for any subsequent expenses or losses, such as therapy and loss of income. Compensation is paid out by the guilty party or their insurance company, for example, if an employee is making a work place stress claim against his or her employer.
