Emotional and Psychological Impacts of a Serious Laredo Auto Accident

The physical impact of a personal injury may often seem obvious. A Laredo auto accident, for example, can cause incredible harm to a victim in the form of broken bones, spinal injury, concussive brain injuries, and more. However, any Laredo auto accident lawyer with Carabin Shaw could tell you that physical injuries are not the only damages you can suffer. The psychological and emotional impacts of such accidents are just as life changing as the physical injuries.

Stress, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are some of the more well known non-physical ramifications of a Laredo auto accident. These emotional and psychological impacts of a serious Laredo auto accident may be less visible than a broken bone or bruised body, but they are no less serious and no less deserving of legal and financial compensation if the accident was the fault of another party.

Laredo Auto Accidents

Laredo is no stranger to auto accidents. As safe as you may drive, you simply cannot account for the driving behaviors and reckless tendencies of other drivers. 2023 has already seen 200 accidents as of July. The highest concentration of these accidents occur at busy intersections like E Del Mar and McPherson, or highway intersections like the 83 and 35.

If you have been injured in any auto accident in Laredo and have suffered psychological or emotional trauma, our team of personal injury attorneys is ready to fight for the legal justice that you are owed.

Studies Find Auto Accidents to Cause PTSD

Often, PTSD is associated with traumatic experiences. The loss of a family member, returning from military service, and similar events. However, PTSD, described by authors J. Gayle Beck and Scott F. Coffey as “an anxiety order that often follows a traumatic event involving actual or threatened death, serious injury, or threat to the physical integrity of oneself or others,” manifests in almost 9% of auto accident survivors.

A Laredo auto accident settlement, pursued with the support of our attorneys at Carabin Shaw, can help you win the resources you need to find the support you deserve in the aftermath of your auto accident.
