You are entitled to make psychological injury claims for compensation when you have sustained a quantifiable psychological injury due to the negligence of somebody who owed you a duty of care. Most physical injury compensation claims contain an element of psychological injury for the emotional trauma sustained by the victim of an injury and those close to them, however psychological injury claims can be made, for example, when you are the victim of stress, harassment or bullying at work, when you have experienced an emotional trauma due to the wrongful death of somebody close to you or if you have witnessed a particularly violent event. Claims for psychological injury compensation are sensitive issues and need to handled compassionately. Therefore, it is in your best interests to discuss psychological injury claims with a personal injury lawyer for further advice.
