Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Psychological Harm After A Crash

Car crashes can leave drivers, passengers & pedestrians with PTSD, anxiety or a fear of travelling.

We’ll explain how a Compulsory Third Party (CTP) claim may include psychological injury.

Trauma At Work

Witnessing a serious incident or facing violence on the job can cause lasting psychological injury.

We’ll guide you through the claim options for psychological injuries at work.

Alongside A Physical Injury

Depression or anxiety often develops while coping with pain, lost independence or a long recovery.

We’ll help ensure your mental health is considered alongside your physical injuries.

Take The First Step

Psychological injury claims have strict time limits, and a diagnosis from your doctor or psychologist is an important early step.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to confirm your time limits and explain what comes next.

Key Things To Know About PTSD & Psychological Injury Claims

01

A Diagnosis Matters

A diagnosis from a GP, psychologist or psychiatrist is usually needed to support a psychological injury claim.

We’ll work with your treating team to present clear evidence.

02

Delayed Reactions Are Common

Some people feel fine at first, then struggle weeks or months after the event.

A later diagnosis doesn’t necessarily rule out a claim. We’ll help connect your symptoms to what happened.

03

Treatment Costs Count

Counselling, psychology sessions & medication can add up over time.

We’ll help ensure ongoing treatment is reflected in your claim.

04

Time Limits Matter

PTSD & psychological injury claims involve strict deadlines & procedural requirements. Missing them can put a claim at risk.
