Mental Anguish and Emotional Distress — When Personal Injury Victims Respond to Trauma
They are similar in nature to "pain and suffering" damages, but mental anguish and emotional distress are separate types of damages that a personal injury victim can seek. This type refers to mental and emotional responses to the trauma of a physical event.
Common symptoms of mental anguish would include:
- Anxiety
- Apprehension
- Terror
- Confusion
- Humiliation
- Sorrow
- Shock
An Accident Can Trigger Mental Anguish and Emotional Distress
Mental anguish and emotional distress could be a reaction to a traumatic auto or truck accident. It's not uncommon for a child to suffer from mental anguish and emotional distress after a dog bite injury.
