Compensation Claims The Hurt Does Not Have To Be Physical

Injury compensation does not merely involve physical injuries only

, it also encompasses injury to the mind i.e. Psychological Injury, and actually claims of this sort are quite frequent.

Wounded minds can cause even greater damage to your life than physical injury and compensation claims solicitors are experienced in dealing with the consequences.

Psychological abuse means the intentional causing of emotional and/or mental distress and this can be done through threats, humiliation or other contact, whether verbal or otherwise.

Financial compensation as a result of a psychological abuse claim can be a vital help to pay for the cost of psychiatric treatment and also to cover household bills incurred during a period spent unable to work.

Psychological and emotional abuse may not be as obvious to spot as a physical injury and sometimes it is more realistic for a relative, friend or carer to look out for frequently caused symptoms.

These can include recurring memories of a traumatic event, upsetting and unpredictable emotional outbursts, frightening memories, a feeling of being in danger, feeling numb and lost and an inability or unwillingness to trust other people.

An initial consultation with a compensations claim solicitor will be carried out in as sympathetic and understanding a fashion as possible. It is important to note at this stage that there are no obligations involved on either side. They will know that going through a legal case may be emotionally difficult for you and that is just one reason why they will be looking to give you sensitive and expert advice.

The rule of thumb is that compensation solicitors will not begin a claim unless they are very confident they will be able to successfully complete it. This explains the availability of 'no win, no fee' agreements from many specialist solicitors. Under a no win no fee agreement, your solicitor will gain their fee from successfully completing your claim and there is no financial risk on the behalf of the claimant.

In the same way, personal injury solicitors speak of 100 per cent compensation, giving you the promise of full justice should your claim be successful.

Psychological trauma can continue to affect and afflict your life for years after the upsetting incidents have occurred. In fact it is entirely possible that you will have to live with the consequences for the rest of your life. In these circumstances you are going to need the help and support of professionals and that includes legal experts with your best interests at heart. Specialist personal injury solicitors work for your peace of mind.
