Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is a form of anxiety that may develop after exposure to a sudden, terrifying event in which physical harm occurs or is threatened. Individuals who suffer from serious injuries as a result of being in a traumatic accident such as a train crash or a fatal auto or trucking accident typically experience some level of PTSD in addition to any physical injuries.

You should contact the experienced Orange County personal injury attorneys at Aitken * Aitken * Cohn if you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury or were involved in a traumatic experience and are showing one or more of the following PTSD symptoms:

• Social withdrawal
• Feelings of detachment or numbness
• Avoiding talking about the event or injury
• Intense feelings of depressions or sadness
• Chronic pain that is unrelated to the injury
• Exaggerated startle response
• Problems sleeping
• Disorganized behavior
