Road rage-related accidents can leave victims with severe physical injuries. In addition to bodily harm, a person can suffer from multiple mental and emotional consequences. People have reported their experiences with mental anguish and a loss of enjoyment of life. Studies have shown an estimated 39.2 percent of car collision victims develop PTSD. The emotional effects of a car crash are less visible to a jury than a broken bone or laceration. Nevertheless, emotional distress can affect a victim’s routine. In court, a person can recover losses like pain and suffering as part of their non-economic damages. In many cases, the plaintiff needs to prove pain and suffering have affected their daily life. Strong evidence may need to show how emotional damage lowered productivity at work. Pay stubs can exhibit missed days from work due to mental treatment. The plaintiff may use testimonies from witnesses who have seen the severity of non-economic damages. You could have a mental health doctor evaluate you and provide their opinion to back up your claim. Some people develop physical symptoms, and a doctor can provide evidence. A road rage lawyer can help you prove the non-economic damages you plan to claim. They can calculate how much each one is worth in a settlement.
