If I had ptsd from accident in work for 3 months how much could i recieve ?
I was diagnosed by my doctor with post traumatic stress disorder after an accident at work, I was working on site moving a heavy piece of machinery manually with a co worker when my leg got trapped machine.
My physical injuries only lasted 2 weeks but i was off work then I couldnt return to my normal duties and was on statutory sick pay for 3 months and i still cant return to normal duties because of anxiety and I wasnt sleeping for long time and i was on depression meds also.
The thing is we couldn’t move the machine and when it fell on me I thought I was going to be crippled and I trapped for ages, it was very stressful and embarrassing, my colleague shouldn’t have tried to move it like that and has been dismissed because of the incident.
I just haven’t been off work with physical injuries, I am afraid of being hurt worse next time, do I have a valid claim for compensation?
