PTSD and psychological claims

At least 25% of individuals exposed to a traumatic event or series of events will develop at least one or more psychological illnesses.

Typical psychological illnesses arising out of exposure to trauma include:

• depression
• post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• grief and adjustment reactions
• drug and/or alcohol dependency

Unlike a physical injury you may not immediately experience or recognise the signs and symptoms of a psychological injury. In some cases you may not associate your symptoms with trauma for weeks, months and commonly years.

We are able to act on behalf of any individual who has sustained psychological injuries through an accident that was not their fault.

Linder Myers LLP is able to offer a no win, no fee agreement which means just that. If you win the case, the insurance company for the third party will pay your costs. If you lose the case, you don’t pay anything. You really have nothing to lose!

In some instances, you may have the benefit of legal expenses cover on your car, home or credit card insurance which means that we will be able to act on your behalf with the benefit of that policy, again, at no extra cost to you.

Here at Linder Myers we have a dedicated team of lawyers who deal with a variety of personal injury and accident claims day in day out.

Our personal injury team has a range of qualified lawyers from partners to experienced legal assistants with over 30 years experience so that you can be sure the right person will be handling your claim.

We have extensive experience of dealing with these types of claims both locally and on a national basis.

The expert psychological injury team have successfully brought group actions against the Ministry of Defence (MOD) relating to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of combat.
