Does Personal Injury Include Emotional Distress?
Personal Injury Can Involve More Than The Physical
When you think of personal injury, you may think of a car accident, a dog bite, or some other scenario where someone is physically injured. However, these physical injuries can also be accompanied by mental and emotional injuries. In some situations, there may be no physical injury, but an event may still be traumatic enough to cause emotional distress.
So, is that emotional distress something that you can sue for and recover from in the eyes of the law?
