Details

When most people think of truck accident injuries, they think of broken bones and physical trauma. But injuries are not always visible on an X-ray.

Our client, a young adult, was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer and developed post-traumatic stress disorder as a direct result of the collision.

PTSD is a serious, recognized psychological injury that can affect every aspect of a person's life, including their ability to drive, work, maintain relationships, and simply feel safe in the world.

Edgett Hawk advocated strongly for the full recognition of our client's psychological injuries alongside any physical ones and secured a $100,000.00 settlement.

The damage a serious accident causes is not always visible, but every bit of it deserves to be compensated.
