Navigating the Complexities of Work-Related Psychological Injuries with Sousa Law, LLC
While physical injuries are often the first thought when considering workplace harm, the recognition of emotional, mental, and psychological injuries is growing. These can manifest as severe anxiety, profound depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Connecticut's workers' comp law acknowledges claims for psychological injuries stemming from physical injuries, yet these cases, including those involving PTSD, are challenging due to their less visible nature. Unfortunately, this often leads to the denial of workers' compensation claims for psychological injuries.
Understanding the Link Between Psychological and Physical Injuries
At Sousa & Minogue, LLC in Shelton, we've seen how psychological injuries often arise from physical harm. Depression is common following a career-impacting physical injury and, if untreated, can escalate into more serious conditions. Claims for anxiety or PTSD treatment following incidents like falls or explosions are entirely valid and should be pursued.
