The effect of a serious injury often extends far beyond physical harm.  Psychological injuries can be just as debilitating, if not more.  Trauma, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after catastrophic events, affecting a person’s ability to work, maintain relationships, and enjoy life.  Psychological injuries often require extensive therapy, counseling, medical care, and the support and assistance of close friends, family, and the community at large.  Yet insurance companies frequently undervalue or dismiss these harms and losses as unquantifiable or as less significant than medical bills or lost wages.  

At McAlpine Law Firm, we know that the impact that an injury has had on your quality and enjoyment of life, and on your ability to carry on as you once did, is a far greater burden and weight to carry than unpaid medical bills or lost income.  The impact that an unwanted change in your life and lifestyle can have on your sense of well-being and happiness cannot be overstated.  Our firm is committed to understanding the client’s trauma in-depth and advocating for a maximum recovery from emotional and psychological trauma, ensuring they receive the compensation and support needed for long-term recovery.
