What types of injuries qualify for emotional trauma claims in Michigan?

Emotional trauma is real—and recognized under Michigan law.

You may be able to sue for emotional distress when:

  • It’s tied to a physical injury (e.g., car crash, assault, medical malpractice)
  • You witnessed a horrific injury to a loved one
  • You were the victim of civil rights violations, sexual harassment, discrimination, or police misconduct

Common symptoms include:

  • PTSD
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Panic attacks
  • Insomnia
  • Social withdrawal

Courts in Michigan have awarded damages for emotional trauma—especially in civil rights and personal injury cases. (Check out Jon Marko’s track record in high-profile trauma cases.)
