At Gallien Law, we understand the value of having an effective legal strategy.
Here is our Strategic Saturday tip for today:
💡 Factor in Psychological Damages
Injuries often lead to emotional and psychological distress, such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression. Documenting mental health treatment and diagnoses strengthens claims for psychological damages as part of your overall case.
Why Psychological Damages Matter:
- Comprehensive Compensation: Including psychological damages ensures your full experience is considered in your claim.
- Strengthen Your Case: Proper documentation supports the validity of your claim.
- Acknowledge Emotional Impact: Recognizing emotional and mental health challenges highlights the true extent of your injuries.
What You Should Do:
- Seek Professional Help: Consult with mental health professionals and follow their treatment plans.
- Keep Records: Document diagnoses, treatment progress, and related expenses.
- Communicate Openly: Share your emotional challenges with your attorney and counselor to ensure they are addressed appropriately.
How to Communicate Openly:
When discussing with your attorney and counselor, include:
- How the Accident Affected You Emotionally: Share if you’ve developed anxiety, PTSD, or depression as a result of the accident.
- Challenges During Recovery: Discuss feelings of isolation, overwhelm, or struggles with coping.
- Impact on Your Daily Life: Explain how emotional or psychological difficulties have affected your relationships, work, or quality of life.
By sharing these details with your counselor, they can help develop an effective treatment plan. Your attorney can ensure this aspect is properly factored into your claim for psychological damages.
Open communication is essential to ensuring your case fully reflects the impact on your life.
