Description:Being involved in a Long Island car accident is distressing. Your adrenaline soars 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 injured 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. Here’s how it differs from simply being upset: The defendant exhibited extreme or outrageous conduct; and The conduct was intentional or reckless and caused; Severe emotional distress and, in some cases, bodily harm When your attorney can prove that all of the above elements are current, the person or party that caused your distress is held liable in court. They may also be held liable for any bodily harm that culminates from your emotional state.
