PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS

LINGERING ANXIETY

Your mind isn’t the only thing responding to this trauma. Anxiety may cause you to startle easy or have sore muscles from tensing up. Depression may cause you to lose your appetite and feel fatigued throughout the day. These emotional struggles can have severe effects on your life and often require professional help to overcome. If your trauma was caused by the negligence of another, you can be compensated for the emotional damages they have caused. A team of personal injury experts, like those at Dickerson Oxton Law Firm, can help you understand the legalities of pursuing this compensation. We’d also be happy to point you in the direction of medical or counseling resources if you are looking for recommendations.

Sometimes this anxiety will be nearly constant, though it will more frequently arise when you’re confronted with elements related to your trauma.
