Nix Patterson will vigorously pursue the compensation you deserve for your catastrophic injury case, sexual assault case, or other PTSD-related event.
PTSD can affect children involved in traumatic events just as it can affect adults. If your child is experiencing PTSD, they may have trouble sleeping or experience disturbing nightmares.
Children with PTSD may also lose interest in activities, portray difficult behavior, and avoid anything to do with the event.
Roughly one in three people who experience severe trauma may develop PTSD. There’s no clear explanation for why some people develop PTSD after traumatic events while others don’t. The types of events that can lead to this mental health condition include:
The short answer is yes, when it was caused by someone else’s negligence or unlawful actions.
If you experience PTSD due to another person’s fault, you may have a valid claim. This means that you can sue the at-fault party to recover compensation for your injury and losses. Victims of catastrophic injury or sexual assault often experience PTSD.
In personal injury and sexual assault cases, PTSD is a condition that falls under mental anguish or emotional distress damages. These are non-economic damages that are more complicated to prove than clear injuries like a fractured arm. For this reason, it’s advisable to speak to an experienced PTSD lawyer who can help you prove your condition, hire the right expert witnesses (at no cost to you) and recover fair compensation.
Unsure if you have a valid claim? Contact Nix Patterson today to schedule your free and confidential consultation. Our lawyers will compassionately listen to you and advise you on the best way forward.
In personal injury cases, the term “negligence” often comes up. According to the Cornell Law School, negligence is a legal concept that demonstrates “failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances.”
To win a PTSD negligence claim, the burden of proof rests on the plaintiff. This means that you must demonstrate the defendant’s negligent act or failure to act to get the compensation and justice you deserve for your condition.
The PTSD lawyers at Nix Patterson can help you prove negligence using these elements:
