When SHOULD YOU and when SHOULDN'T YOU do a mental trauma/psychological injury claim for depression or anxiety or PTSD or fear and nervousness as a part of your injury case? If you've been involved in an accident and are experiencing psychological challenges, you may be wondering whether you should claim mental trauma. Scott explains the different types of emotional and psychological trauma claims, the impact they can have on your case, and the potential risks involved. He also provides valuable advice for individuals with a history of psychiatric problems and offers guidance on how to handle these claims effectively. If you or a loved one has suffered emotionally after an accident, it's crucial to understand your options and seek legal assistance from an experienced attorney. The video discusses the consideration of claiming mental trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety in injury cases, particularly focusing on car accidents. It distinguishes between two types of emotional trauma claims: one involving general emotional distress and the other involving severe psychological issues requiring professional treatment. In Illinois, both types of claims are recognized, but making a formal mental or psychological claim could expose one's entire mental health history, including counseling and medication, to scrutiny. The transcript advises caution, especially for individuals with a pre-existing history of psychiatric or emotional problems, as it might raise suspicion regarding the legitimacy of the claim. It concludes with a call to action, offering legal assistance and tools to assess the worthiness of a case, and encourages viewers to leave positive reviews.
