Experiencing a harmful event or witnessing a harmful event that occurs to a loved one or even a stranger can trigger post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Those who suffer PTSD experience exaggerated fear responses to situations that may not normally merit a fear response at all. The symptoms of PTSD can include:

  • Flashbacks
  • Survivor’s guilt
  • Being easily startled
  • Avoiding situations or locations that remind you of the event
  • Tension
  • Feeling detached or emotionally numb

Given the debilitating impact PTSD can have on a person’s ability to lead a life unencumbered by fear, it is important that people are properly compensated by whoever caused their PTSD. If the PTSD was caused by an event that someone is responsible for such as a motor vehicle accident caused by negligent driving or a workplace accident caused by careless or substandard work, then the person who caused that event needs to compensate the victim for his or her PTSD.
