Trauma

You may be entitled to claim compensation for a psychiatric injury or illness arising from an accident. It can commonly occur as a result of:

  • road traffic accidents
  • accidents at work
  • slips and trips
  • psychiatric injury arising from an industrial disease (such as asbestosis)
  • work-related stress
  • participants in or witnesses to an accident

Symptoms are not always immediately obvious but can often be traced back to a particular event.
