On behalf of Rhett Hoestenbach, P.C. posted in auto accidents on Tuesday, March 26, 2019.

A car crash can leave a victim dealing with various negative effects, including significant injuries. Auto accidents can result in physical damage that is permanent or debilitating, affecting a person's ability to work and live a normal life. Many of the ways that a Texas car accident affects a person are physical, but there are many unseen effects that can also significantly impact a person's life.

While they are not visible, the internal and unseen impacts of a car accident can be just as significant as a grave injury. One of the most significant of these are emotional struggles that a victim may deal with. The emotional and mental duress that can come after a crash can be debilitating. A person dealing with trauma may experience anxiety, depression, loss of appetite and trouble sleeping.
