Understanding psychological injuries
Mental health conditions don't show up on X-rays, but they're every bit as real as broken bones. If yours was caused by someone else's negligence, you deserve compensation.
Flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance that won't let go. Affects about one in three people who experience something traumatic.
Persistent tension, dizziness, and a racing heart that won't settle down weeks after the event. A legitimate condition that deserves recognition.
Sudden terror, hammering heart, chest pain, and the fear of another episode. Panic disorder often develops after traumatic events.
Feeling constantly low, drained, and tearful after a specific traumatic event. Can completely derail your life, relationships, and work.
Insomnia, nightmares, and exhaustion that compounds every other injury. Quality sleep is fundamental to healing and recovery.
If someone else's negligence made your existing mental health condition significantly worse, you can still claim. The law recognises this.
1 If your claim succeeds, a success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged. If you cancel after the 14-day cancellation period, a cancellation fee may apply.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a psychological injury claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If someone else's negligence caused your accident and you've been left with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other psychological conditions, you absolutely deserve compensation. Mental health injuries are just as real and valid as physical ones. The sleepless nights, panic attacks, and inability to live your normal life all deserve proper recognition.
Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Yes, you can claim mental health compensation even if you walked away without physical injuries. The law recognises that trauma is trauma, whether it comes with broken bones or not. Pure psychological injuries from witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event are valid grounds for a claim.
Compensation depends on severity and impact on your life. Moderately severe psychological injuries typically range from £19,070 to £54,830 under Judicial College Guidelines. Severe PTSD cases can reach £59,860 to £100,670. You can also claim for therapy costs, lost earnings, and medication on top of injury compensation.
You can claim for PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, panic attacks, sleep disorders, and the worsening of pre-existing mental health conditions, all caused by someone else's negligence. If it's affecting your daily life weeks after the accident, you have a valid claim.
Yes, they can. If your mental health condition makes it impossible to handle legal processes yourself, a trusted friend or family member can pursue the claim for you. Call us on 0333 006 8282 to discuss your options.
You have three years from the accident date to start your psychological injury claim. Don't wait though. The sooner you get started, the stronger your case will be. If you're approaching that deadline, get in touch immediately.
Research from BMJ Journals found that nearly 47% of accident victims were still struggling with psychiatric disorders six weeks after their accident, with 43% affected after six months. Psychological injuries are far more common than most people realise, and they often outlast physical injuries.
If you're dealing with lasting mental health effects from an accident that wasn't your fault, you're not alone, and you deserve compensation.
