Adjusting Claims That Involve Psychological Injuries

When faced with claimants who allege they are suffering from psychological or psychiatric injuries, it is important that adjusters understand the nature of such injuries and how they are dealt with by the courts. Everyone knows what it is to be stressed, to lose sleep as a result of anxiety, to be upset and, perhaps, even depressed when an injury interferes with daily activities. For the majority of individuals, life resumes as normal once the stressor or circumstance passes. However, for others, this is sometimes not the case.
