PTSD and Psychological Injury Legal Representation in Ontario

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a recognized psychological injury that can develop after a serious accident or traumatic event. Under Ontario law, psychological injuries are compensable when they arise from negligence, unsafe conditions, or wrongful conduct.

PTSD can affect an individual’s ability to work, maintain relationships, sleep, concentrate, and function in daily life. These injuries are often invisible, but their impact can be severe and long lasting.

Pelz Law Group represents individuals across Ontario who have suffered psychological injuries following serious accidents and traumatic incidents.

We approach these cases with the same level of medical rigor, legal strategy, and advocacy as any catastrophic physical injury. We act exclusively for injured individuals. We do not represent insurance companies or defendants.

PTSD Injury Claims We Handle Across Ontario

Pelz Law Group represents clients with PTSD arising from a wide range of incidents, including:

• PTSD following car and truck accidents
• PTSD after motorcycle, motor scooter, electric bike, and e scooter accidents
• PTSD from pedestrian and cyclist collisions
• PTSD involving public transit, rideshare, taxi, and commercial vehicle incidents
• PTSD resulting from slip and fall accidents
• PTSD following catastrophic injury events
• PTSD related to physical assaults or violent incidents
• Secondary PTSD from witnessing traumatic injuries involving family members

Each claim is assessed individually, with careful attention to medical evidence, psychological impact, and long term consequences.

How PTSD Affects Injury Claims

PTSD is not always immediately diagnosed. Symptoms may emerge weeks or months after an accident and can worsen over time. These injuries often interfere with employment, daily functioning, and personal relationships.

Common PTSD related effects include:

• Persistent anxiety and panic
• Flashbacks and intrusive memories
• Sleep disturbance and nightmares
• Depression and emotional distress
• Difficulty concentrating or working
• Avoidance of activities or environments
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Ontario law recognizes the serious and lasting nature of psychological injuries when supported by appropriate medical and mental health evidence.

Two bicycle accidents few months apart, concussion

.“After being struck by a car twice in one year, while on a bicycle, I was struggling with the complex paperwork and felt really helpless while dealing with the insurance companies on my own. I almost gave up when a friend of mine recommended Elena Pelz. She got back to me right away and instantly made me feel better. Because of Elena’s help I was able to get my life back on track and focus on my treatments. She was able to reach a global settlement with the insurance companies. I couldn’t have asked for a better result. Thanks, Elena”.
