Auto Insurance Claims: PTSD, stress and anxiety, settlement negotiations


Question
Does 6 month of counseling service and Psychiatrist care with medication for stress and anxiety for nightmares and trauma with heightened alertness make much of a difference in settling a claim where car was totaled

Answer
Hi Candace,

If someone else was at fault for the accident, then you are entitled to be compensated for your injuries. Sometimes those injuries can include emotional distress and the associated treatment for that. So you should include any bills for counseling and Psychiatrist as well as any medication in your settlement negotiations.

I hope this helps
