Are You Suffering Physical and Emotional Injuries from a Car Accident? ICBC Will Cover Your Sessions for Free

Every year, thousands of British Columbians suffer accident-related trauma. You are not alone. Being in an automobile accident can be extremely stressful. Your entire life can change in a split second. In addition to suffering from physical injuries, there can also be psychological consequences. For some people, these difficulties may be short-lived while others may develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In these cases, symptoms may continue to get worse over time.

After an accident, common physical symptoms of Car Accident Trauma include:

• Fear of driving
• Panic attacks
• Insomnia
• Intrusive memories, flashbacks and nightmares
• Racing heartbeat

• Fatigue and low energy
• Muscle tension, aches and pains
• Headaches
• Forgetfulness
• Irritability

While some people can “get over” symptoms fairly quickly, others may not be able to, unless they get the right kind of help. The longer someone avoids dealing with the consequences of a car accident, the longer they can be affected by the trauma.

If you’re struggling with car accident trauma, there is help available.
