After a Baltimore Accident: Dealing with the Symptoms of PTSD

PTSD is a serious psychological injury that afflicts some people after they've endured a traumatic event. Be aware of the signs of PTSD that can develop after you or someone you love has been in a traumatic Baltimore accident and speak with a Baltimore car accident lawyer if the accident that caused your injuries was caused by a negligent driver. 

The symptoms of PTSD can include:
 

  • reliving the accident, or having "flashbacks";
  • inability to focus on anything other than the crash;
  • hyperventilation, nausea, heightened pulse, extensive sweating when reminded of the crash;
  • consciously avoiding anything that might remind you of the accident;
  • insomnia, nightmares, drastic changes to sleeping schedule;
  • aggression and heightened irritability;
  • losing interest in previously enjoyed activities;
  • constantly feeling the need to be alert, "hyper-vigilance;"
  • anxiety and panic attacks;
  • melancholy outlook or depression;
  • inability or unwillingness to leave your home;
  • fear of being in or driving a car; and
  • substance abuse.  

This is not an exhaustive list, but it touches on many of the symptoms and byproducts of PTSD after a traumatic Baltimore accident. If you suspect you are suffering from PTSD, speak with a medical professional about your symptoms as soon as you are able and contact a Baltimore car accident lawyer if the accident that caused your injuries was someone else's fault.

Contacting a Baltimore Car Accident Lawyer

Maryland's contributory negligence statute makes it more difficult for Maryland accident victims to recover sufficient compensation when someone else is at fault for your Baltimore accident. This doesn't have to spell the end of your case!
