As a busy litigator, you have heard the excuses and nay-sayers who argue against seeking full compensation for trauma-induced psychological injury. However, this trauma is real, it is diagnosable, it is treatable, and it deserves compensation.
Consider this key fact…
25% to 50% of automobile accidents cause PTSD!1
It is common knowledge that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects thousands of combat veterans, victims of assaults, and survivors of natural disasters. However, PTSD goes well beyond the more known causes to people who experience the trauma of direct physical injury, the sheer terror of an MVA, or an attack such as a dog bite or assault. Proper PTSD treatment may require months to years while costs run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
And the psychological damage may not stop at just PTSD… Common manifestations of mental health trauma include Depression, Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, or even a Phobia (fear of cars, stairs, dogs, elevators, being a pedestrian, etc.).
But here is the good news…
Each of these serious mental health conditions can be diagnosed, treated, tracked, documented, and presented as expert evidence in court.
PTSD and other accident-related mood disorders are hard to talk about with clients…or they are simply overlooked.
Attorneys aren’t trained to diagnose this suffering in their clients, nor should they be. Clients are just referred for a wide range of medical tests and evaluations – and this process leaves out the vital mental health documentation and evidence-based testing that can elevate your case to major psychological permanency damages.
At Family Psychiatry & Therapy, we evaluate, diagnose, document and treat – at no charge to clients.
We diagnose damages: We assess and confirm your client’s mental health damages. When we find psychological disorder or damage, we create a record of diagnosis and treatment.
We document care and treatment using evidence-based medicine to quantify your strongest case for damage compensation.
We treat your client with our easy treat-from-anywhere telehealth platform and track progress as part of the treatment plan for your clients. We provide full treatment to get them on the road to recovery.
We skillfully document and verify any damages that are causal (new behavior/condition or exacerbation of such due to accident) or permanent (damages will persist with or without treatment).
We make diagnosis and documentation easier.
