A car was traveling in the wrong lane down the highway at night. It hit our client's motor home head on, flipped over, and caught on fire. Our client, a physician, was uninjured. He ran to the other vehicle and did everything he could, but the driver of the other vehicle died of his injuries.

Weeks later, our client began experiencing nightmares and panic attacks so severe he was unable to work. Although he had no physical symptoms from the accident, he suffered the psychological and emotional symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened.

Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include:

• Violent personal assaults
• Witnessing someone being badly injured or killed
• Being involved in a fire, flood, or natural disaster
• Being involved in a life-threatening accident
