What are Psychological or Stress Injuries?

  • Complete Details

    Workers’ Compensation covers emotional, mental, or psychiatric injuries that develop on the job from a work injury, traumatic event, harassment from your employer, or a stressful work environment. 


    Psychological injury is a cognitive or emotional symptom that impacts on a person's life, affecting how they think, feel and behave. Also known as mental injury, psychological injuries includes depression, post traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Got a question? We’re here to help.
  • Are there three different categories of psychological injury cases under the law?

    There are basically three different types of psychological injury cases:


    • A case in which a trauma causes purely psychological distress with no significant physical injury.
    • A case in which a trauma simultaneously causes significant physical and psychological injury.
    • A case in which the original trauma produces a serious physical injury and the results of the physical injury eventually cause a psychological injury.
  • If I suffer from emotional distress as a result of a trauma, do I have a psychological injury?

    This becomes a question of degree. Anyone who suffers a significant trauma or physical injury will have some degree of emotional distress. However, psychological injury cases are thought to be those cases in which a plaintiff develops a recognized mental disorder or the psychological distress significantly interferes with their life.
