At PTSD Claim, we assist individuals across the UK who have developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to traumatic events caused by negligence. We connect you with independent SRA-regulated solicitors who can assess your potential eligibility for compensation.
PTSD can significantly affect daily life, including relationships, work, and overall mental well-being. If your PTSD was triggered by a road accident, workplace trauma, military service, violent crime, or medical negligence, submitting an enquiry allows solicitors to assess whether compensation may be available for therapy, lost earnings, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
Who Can Make A PTSD Compensation Claim?
A PTSD claim may be made by anyone who has developed PTSD following a traumatic event caused by negligence, including:
- Road traffic accidents
- Workplace incidents
- Military service
- Violent crime
- Medical negligence
If the affected individual is unable to submit a claim due to the severity of their condition, a relative or legal guardian may submit an enquiry on their behalf.
What Are The Most Common Causes Of PTSD Claims?
PTSD claims often arise from traumatic events linked to negligence or unsafe conditions, including:
- Road traffic accidents – Survivors or witnesses of serious crashes.
- Workplace trauma – High-risk professions, including emergency services, healthcare, or military service.
- Violent crime – Assault, domestic abuse, or witnessing traumatic events.
- Medical negligence – Misdiagnosed mental health conditions, birth trauma, or surgical errors.
Independent solicitors can review your enquiry and determine if a claim may be possible.
How Much Compensation Can I Claim For PTSD?
While outcomes cannot be guaranteed, PTSD claims may include:
- Medical and therapy costs – Counselling, psychiatric treatment, or rehabilitation.
- Lost earnings – Reduced ability to work due to PTSD.
- Long-term care – Support for daily life impacted by PTSD symptoms.
Compensation depends on the severity of PTSD and its impact on everyday life. Independent solicitors can assess your enquiry and provide guidance on potential eligibility.

The PTSD claim process begins:

- Gather supporting evidence: medical reports, therapy records, incident reports, witness statements, and financial records.
Independent SRA-regulated solicitors can review your documentation and advise on potential next steps.
How Long Do I Have To Make A PTSD Claim?
PTSD claims are generally filed within three years of the traumatic event or diagnosis.
- Military PTSD claims may have extended time limits.
- Historical trauma, such as childhood abuse, may be eligible for claims even many years later.
Solicitors can confirm eligibility and applicable time limits based on your situation.
How Long Does A PTSD Claim Take To Settle?
Settlement times vary depending on severity, liability, and evidence availability. Simple cases may resolve faster, while complex cases can take longer. Interim payments may sometimes be available to support treatment, medication, or lost income while a claim is being reviewed.
