Mental anguish or emotional distress refers to mental and emotional responses to the trauma of a physical event. In calculating damages for anguish or emotional distress, courts will look at the circumstances of each individual accident. You may be able to pursue damages for anguish or emotional distress in cases if you:

  • Recognized imminent catastrophic harm but could not avoid it
  • Were trapped and alert in a state of severe peril or pain
  • Witnessed and were unable to prevent the loss of or harm to a loved one

Situations such as a rollover accident in which passengers are trapped within the car, or an oil field accident in which a worker is pinned beneath heavy machinery, may create a case for mental anguish and emotional distress. Mental anguish or anxiety may result from extreme:

  • Fear
  • Anxiety
  • Shock
  • Grief
  • Mental suffering
  • Shame
