Fighting for the Rights of PTSD Victims
After witnessing a deadly car accident or being involved in combat, it is normal to feel scared and uneasy for a period of time. However, if you experience panic attacks, nightmares and have difficulty sleeping for an extended amount of time, you may have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
While some cases of PTSD arise due to accidents for which no one is to blame, sometimes PTSD is caused by another person's negligence. If you or your loved one was diagnosed with PTSD after a situation that could have been avoided, Abes Baumann will help you obtain compensation for your treatment and pain and suffering.
What is PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be triggered by any life-threatening or traumatic event or injury that causes a response of intense fear, horror or helplessness. An auto accident, natural disaster, watching someone get injured or die, a dog attack, violent assault or learning of a loved one's death are all traumatic events that might trigger PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD can occur up to six months after the incident and may be so severe that you cannot work or continue with your daily activities.
Insurance companies are often reluctant to pay PTSD claims, or will offer a settlement that barely covers your damages. At Abes Baumann, our Pittsburgh PTSD attorneys have more than 100 years of combined experience helping people in Pittsburgh and throughout Pennsylvania obtain the compensation they need after a serious injury.
Whether you are a war veteran or a civilian, we will fight to protect your rights and help you get the benefits and compensation you need to move on with your life. We are familiar with the signs of PTSD and we know how to build a strong case for you. When you work with our firm, you will always work with an attorney — not a paralegal or legal assistant. You can expect your lawyer to return your calls and stand by your side for the duration of your case.
