Uber accidents can be highly stressful, devastating, and life-altering, particularly in Alabama. The injuries that result from these accidents often extend beyond physical damage. Emotional distress, including Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), is a significant consequence often overlooked and misunderstood. At the law offices of Stephen Thompson, we understand the depth of this problem and endeavor to fight and advocate for the legal rights of our clients experiencing such trauma.
Emotional distress is a term used to describe a range of psychological responses to a traumatic experience, such as an Uber accident. These responses might include sadness, ongoing fear and worry, bouts of uncontrollable crying, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, and difficulty carrying out daily tasks. Beyond the immediate response, emotional distress, can develop into a more severe psychological condition known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
PTSD is a severe anxiety disorder that can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as a violent Uber accident. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of PTSD include intrusive memories, avoidance of situations that trigger memories of the trauma, changes in emotional reactions, and negative changes in thinking and mood.
In the state of Alabama, emotional distress and PTSD resulting from Uber accidents are recognized as legitimate injuries when proving a personal injury claim. A victim suffering from emotional distress and PTSD might be eligible for compensation just as they would be if they suffered physical injuries. Emotional damages compensation awards can help victims afford the therapeutic and psychological services they need to manage and recover from their emotional and psychological injuries.
The severity and impact of the emotional distress or PTSD must be evident to make a successful claim—a factor that's typically established through an expert witness such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. Additionally, the connection between the accident and the distress must be apparent - or in legal terms - "causation" must be established.
