It's not just in your mind; Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is real and alive in Gainesville.

Recently, I have had numerous clients ask about an issue of importance to anyone that has been in a serious accident; that is the emotional repercussions that a bad accident or wrongful death can have on the victim/s or their family. 

Often people ignore the symptoms and think or hope that they will just go away.  However, as an experienced accident lawyer in Gainesville, Florida and the surrounding areas that has helped thousands of accident victims get the settlement or verdict and treatment they deserve over the last 37 years, I know that these symptoms can be real and require medical attention that can be expensive and ongoing. Getting treatment for these symptoms or disorder is as important as getting therapy for a person's injured body parts, such as a broken arm or spinal cord injury. 

It is called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, and sometimes referred to as PTSS, Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms, which includes symptoms from depression to vague anxiety to panic attacks.

I was excited to learn today that there is a new book that discusses the topic of PTSD in detail; it will be an asset to fully helping an injured victim after a motor vehicle/car accident get back to normal.   

If you feel you may have PTSD, I urge you to read the articles listed below for more information and talk to your doctor and lawyer right away.  Remember, you can only settle your accident case one time.
