What is emotional distress?

Emotional distress is one type of injury for which you can seek compensation in a Texas personal injury lawsuit.

 

Accidents are traumatic experiences. Not only do they cause physical injuries, they can also cause the victim to suffer emotionally and mentally.

  1. Panic attacks
  2. Fear
  3. Sleeplessness
  4. Headaches
  5. Stress
