Can You Sue Without Physical Injuries?

What to Know If You Suffered Emotional Distress or Trauma


While most accidents result in physical injuries, some solely cause emotional distress or trauma. This form of pain and suffering can be debilitating. It can make it difficult to return to your everyday life without treatment for the condition. If you suffered emotional harm after an accident, you may still be entitled to compensation even if there were no physical injuries. 

At The King Firm, we provide skilled representation for individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured in an accident caused by another person’s negligence or wrongdoing. If you have been hurt due to someone else’s wrongful action, contact our office to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation today.

Common Types of Non-Physical Injuries

Physical injuries are not the only type of harm that can occur after an accident. There may be a number of injuries or accident-related losses that entitle you to compensation. The most important thing is to work with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can help you understand your rights.

Common types of non-physical injuries:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Property damage
  • Lost wages
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Depression

Non-physical injuries can be devastating. They can impact many aspects of your life, including your ability to work or maintain meaningful relationships. Compensation may be available to cover any of your expenses, such as those related to counseling for your emotional distress.

Filing a Claim Based on Property Damage

You can also file a claim based on property damage if your vehicle or other property was damaged as a result of the accident. Again, working with an attorney can prove critical to ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve after an accident. Without the help of an attorney you could end up settling for less than your case is worth.

Other Personal Injury Cases Without Physical Injuries

In addition to accidents caused by another person’s negligence, you may also suffer injury because of a person’s intentional act. Non-physical injuries may occur if the act damages your reputation. For instance, you may have a valid claim for defamation if someone wrote or said something about you that damaged your reputation and was untrue. 


The Importance of Hiring an Attorney

With any type of personal injury case, it is essential to consult with an attorney prior to making any statements to an insurance company or another party about your case. An attorney can help guide you through the legal process and ensure you receive the maximum damages allowed in your case.
