Our emotional distress lawyers represent accident victims suffering bodily injury and emotional distress in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens & beyond.
A serious accident is a traumatic event for anyone to experience. If you have been injured and suffered from stress, sadness or depression following an accident, you may be legally entitled to monetary compensation for emotional distress.
Emotional stress can affect a person’s thought process. It can cause mood swings, forgetfulness, embarrassment, eating disorders and anxiety.
These mental health conditions can significantly limit a person’s overall quality of life. Time consuming and expensive doctor visits may be needed.

How to Prove Emotional Distress
Medical diagnosis is generally necessary to prove your psychological injury claim.
This important evidence is subject to review by the Defendant’s own medical experts.
Further, treatment for the condition, such as counseling, therapy or prescription drugs are generally necessary in order to be awarded compensation for your emotional distress claim.
The law allows accident victims to recover compensation for these emotional injuries in two primary circumstances:
- The distress is accompanied by a physical bodily injury, or
- The distress is intentionally inflicted upon the injured party by the defendant
Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress Lawyers
When emotional stress is intentionally inflicted upon a victim, the bad actor can be held liable even without the victim having been hurt in an accident. Online harassment via the internet or social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Google and Text Message applies.
If you have sustained an emotional injury, call us to review a possible claim.
