> Motorcycle accidents are terrifying events, and emotional trauma can easily develop in the aftermath. To get the compensation you need for your recovery, discuss your legal options with a Boise motorcycle accident PTSD lawyer.
Motorcycle accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, both physical and mental. While injuries like broken bones , lacerations, and brain damage are common, many victims find themselves experiencing emotional trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), after accidents that are particularly severe.
If this is your situation, a Boise motorcycle accident PTSD lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can help you seek the compensation you need to pay for your PTSD-related losses and damages.
Proving the PTSD-Accident Link
It isn’t always easy to prove that PTSD is connected to or caused by a motorcycle accident , which is just one of the reasons why working with a lawyer can be so beneficial. In order for your case to succeed, you must be able to demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that your emotional trauma was directly caused by the accident.
If you had PTSD before the accident or if you have a history of mental illness, this can become quite difficult. Add to this the inherent stress, anxiety , and depression experienced while suffering from emotional trauma, and your legal challenges could intrude into and interfere with your recovery. Although proving this connection can be difficult, it is not impossible as long as you have a qualified legal team helping you.
The Damage Caused by Emotional Trauma
PTSD—and any other form of emotional trauma—can have a dramatic impact upon your life. The disorder could make it impossible for you to get back onto a bike or even get into a car. This can make it incredibly difficult to get to work, much less attend to daily living activities.
Your quality of life can decrease in other ways, as well. Your PTSD could be triggered by sights, sounds, and locations that remind you of the motorcycle accident, snapping you back to that point in time. This can interfere with every aspect of your life, and could even put you into a situation that results in a physical injury.
Your personal relationships might suffer, as well. This is a noneconomic loss known as “loss of consortium.” And of course, you’ll experience financial damages related to your treatment, such as medication and therapy costs. All of these damages—whether financial or noneconomic—should be included in your financial settlement , and with our help, you’ll know that your compensation is fair.

Client Reviews
“I was concerned with all the paperwork”
Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
