| Description: | Being involved in a Long Island car accident is distressing. Your adrenaline skyrockets amid the wreck, sending your body into fight or flight mode. If you’re injured, you may not feel any pain right away because the shock is so strong. Emotions run high, but does that mean your case has what you need to prove emotional distress in court? Not always. Most people are upset following a vehicle collision. It’s fair to say that whether you are hurt or not, you are angry, frightened, shocked, and more. Unfortunately, your stress level alone following an accident is not rationale enough to file emotional distress. The term “severe” is certainly subjective, but your distress must have been severe enough that a reasonable person should not have to go through it. |
