Mental Anguish and Emotional Distress

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.
