Psychological & Emotional Trauma at Work
Workplace Injury Lawyer in West Virginia
Injuries in the workplace are all too common an occurrence. When you think of a work-related injury, you likely think of a slip and fall, malfunctioning machinery or other incidents that cause physical damage. However, there are incidents that can occur in the workplace that cause injuries that aren't so visible and obvious. Incidents can occur on the job that can cause mental anguish. You may have been victimized by abusive banter. You may have been subjected to lewd comments or actions, or sexual harassment. These, and other types of actions can cause psychological and emotional trauma, and the effects can be devastating. In fact, the effects can be more damaging than physical injuries.

Signs and Symptoms of Psychological & Emotional Trauma

Anxiety
Depression
Panic attacks
Suicidal thoughts or tendencies
The effects of psychological and emotional damage can be long-lasting, and even permanent. They can impact your overall health and well-being, and can affect your performance on the job, as well as in your personal life. You could be entitled to workers' compensation, as well as other benefits.
