Injuries after a car accident can be mental as well as physical. Very often, car accident victims deal with a combination of both. The physical pain and suffering caused, as well as the emotional stress of the event, can often lead to certain types of trauma. Many car accident victims are later diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and they often need ongoing therapy to help them heal.
