Psychologists & Auto Accidents

Simply put, accidents are difficult to cope with. Whether it is a bicycle or pedestrian accident, a motorcycle accident, a truck accident or any other type of Bucks County personal injury, it can leave you in a state of shock. Any accident, from the most severe crash to the most minor fender-bender, can lead to emotional trauma.

Accidents in the Philadelphia area are not easily forgotten, and sometimes the resulting emotional trauma can be more difficult to recover from than any physical injuries you may have sustained. Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer, Michael L. Saile, Jr., explains about the importance of a psychologist in the aftermath of an accident in Bucks County.

A psychologist can provide assistance to you following a Bucks County accident in several different ways. The following are instances in which psychological treatment can be very beneficial:

• Fear/Panic: Any kind of traumatic experience can leave you with bad memories or fear of recurrence. Unfortunately, in the case of auto accidents, victims must face this fear every day when they get in a car or other vehicle on the road. A psychologist can use several anti-anxiety techniques to help you regain a level of comfort with driving or riding in a car.

• Head Injuries: Many head injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI), require immediate medical attention. But it may be some time before psychological symptoms of head injuries surface for an accident victim. These symptoms can include memory loss, inability to concentrate, fatigue and general emotional instability. A psychologist can begin the process of helping you return to your normal, pre-accident routine.

• Physical Pain: Physical pain can lead to varying types of emotional trauma. Accident victims may find it difficult to cope with a severe, life-changing injury, such as a TBI, paralysis, or even chronic pain. A psychologist can help you accept your injury and move on with your life in a different and more optimistic way.

• PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as PTSD, affects many who have suffered a traumatic experience, like a Philadelphia area auto accident. The symptoms of PTSD are more intense and longer-lasting than the regular periods of shock or fear. A victim may be suffering from PTSD if: the person often re-experiences the event in their mind, the person avoids any memories of the accident or the person is suffering from extreme emotional instability and a high-level of anxiety.
