Emotional distress damages are intended to compensate individuals for the psychological impact of an injury or wrongful act.
Examples may include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Fear
- Humiliation
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of peace of mind
In many cases, emotional distress damages are considered alongside physical injuries. Medical records, therapy records, expert testimony, and evidence showing how the injury has affected daily life may all help demonstrate these damages.
The value of emotional distress damages varies significantly based on the facts of each case.
