Personal Injury Accidents That Can Result in PTSD

The following are some examples of accidents that can leave victims suffering with PTSD:
- Vehicle collisions
- Slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents
- Construction injuries
- Workplace accidents
- Nursing home abuse
- Medical malpractice
- Spinal cord injuries
