Am I Eligible to Make a Psychological Injury Claim?

A psychological injury refers to harm to your mental health caused by a traumatic experience. This may include events such as an assault, a workplace incident, or ongoing bullying and harassment. These situations can lead to emotional distress, anxiety, stress, depression, or PTSD, often as a result of another party’s actions or negligence.

You may be eligible to make a psychological injury claim if your mental health has been affected by your work environment, a specific incident, or repeated harmful behaviour. In some cases, you can pursue an emotional distress claim even if you have not suffered a physical injury.

Psychological injury can occur in a variety of settings, including workplaces, public spaces, or institutions like schools, universities, and organisations. Whether the harm was caused by a single event or developed over time, you may have the right to seek compensation.

At Wyatts, our experienced psychological injury lawyers understand the complexities of these claims. We are here to guide you through the legal process and help you secure fair compensation, so you can focus on your recovery.

What Types of Psychological Injury or Emotional Distress Qualify for a Claim?

If you’ve experienced any of the following situations that have led to psychological injury or emotional distress, you may have the right to make a psychological injury claim and seek compensation:

Type of Abuse Description

Workplace Trauma

  • PTSD or severe anxiety resulting from a single traumatic event at work, or chronic stress and depression caused by systemic bullying and harassment.

Witnessing Trauma

  • Serious mental health conditions developed after witnessing a horrific accident, fatality, or act of violence against another person.

Institutional & Systemic Abuse

  • Psychological harm caused by neglect or mistreatment within schools, religious organisations, care facilities, or correctional centres.

Threats & Intimidation

  • Verbal or non-verbal threats that cause a persistent fear of harm or severe nervous shock, justifying an emotional distress claim.

Medical Negligence

  • Emotional distress arising from surgical errors, birth injuries, or a failure to provide a reasonable standard of care in a clinical setting.

Victim of Crime

  • Ongoing psychological repercussions following a physical or sexual assault, robbery, or other violent acts committed by a third party.

If your mental health has suffered due to the negligence of an individual or an organisation, our legal team can guide you through the process of securing compensation for psychological injury and emotional distress. We are committed to getting you paid what you’re owed for the “invisible” injuries that impact your daily life.

What Compensation Can I Claim for Psychological Injury?

The amount of psychological injury compensation you may receive depends on the severity of your condition, how it has impacted your life, and the laws that apply in your state. Navigating a psychological injury claim can be complex, but our experienced psychological injury lawyers will guide you every step of the way.

You may be able to claim compensation for:

  • Medical, psychological, and psychiatric treatment expenses
  • Pain and suffering caused by emotional distress
  • Loss of income and reduced earning capacity
  • Rehabilitation and ongoing support services
  • Medication and therapy costs
  • Legal costs incurred as part of your claim

Our dedicated psychological injury lawyers will handle your claim from start to finish and help you secure the full compensation you’re entitled to. Contact Wyatts Lawyers at 1800 773 880 for a free claim check.

How Much Compensation Can I Get for a Psychological Injury Claim?

The amount of compensation you can claim for a psychological injury will vary depending on your individual circumstances. Factors such as lost income, loss of superannuation, medical expenses, and the severity of your psychological injury or emotional distress will all impact the outcome of your claim.

In some cases, you may also be eligible for additional support through government schemes or other compensation programs, depending on your situation.

To get a better idea of your entitlements, consult our expert legal team today. Our compensation lawyers will guide you through the claims process, check if you’re eligible for extra compensation through other programs, and advise you if civil litigation is an option.
