Standing Up for Victims of Invisible but Life-Changing Injuries
Not all injuries can be seen on an X-ray or MRI. The emotional and psychological impact of an accident or traumatic event can be just as devastating as any physical injury — sometimes even more so. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep disturbances, mood swings, and difficulty maintaining relationships or work responsibilities.
At McAlpine Law, we understand that mental and emotional injuries are real, debilitating, and worthy of full legal compensation. We fight to ensure these damages are recognized, taken seriously, and properly valued by insurance companies and juries.
