Understanding the Emotional Stress

Car accident injuries come in all forms; some are more visible than others. Long after the broken bones have healed, a serious Bronx auto accident can cause significant emotional damage, and for many victims, these are the hardest injuries from which to recover.

An automobile accident that results in personal injury is by definition a traumatic event. One moment you are engaged in normal life, the next you are caught in a terrifying collision beyond your control. You may be left with long-term pain and physical conditions that prevent you from doing things you previously enjoyed, leading to depression and anxiety. You may be left with difficult memories that make you reluctant to get behind the wheel of a car – or even ride as a passenger. Depending upon your injuries, you may be required to follow an extensive treatment plan, which can be both physically and mentally exhausting. If you lost a loved one in the accident, you have suffered an additional injury that cannot be righted.

Emotional stressors such as these can have very serious repercussions. Victims of Bronx car accidents may be diagnosed with:

• Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, a very real and debilitating condition that often requires extensive treatment with therapy or medicine;
• Depression that does not go away after a period of time and actually worsens;
• Severe anxiety that affects multiple aspects of your daily life.
