Van Nuys Work Stress Mental Health Claims Attorney

Workers’ Comp For Injuries To Mental Health

Many employees do not realize that workers’ compensation covers mental health impairments as well as physical injuries. Such claims are commonly denied by employers and their insurance companies as frivolous or not job-related.

At Koszdin, Fields & Sherry , we realize that mental health impairments can be legitimately disabling. Our partner attorneys are board-certified specialists* who have successfully represented clients in PTSD claims and other mental health claims under California workers’ compensation.

Is Your Claim Compensable?

Psychological claims generally fall into two categories: (1) mental stress caused by sexual harassment, discrimination or other hostile work environment, or (2) mental disorders arising from a workplace injury, also known as compensable consequence claims.

Examples of mental health claims might include:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks from hostile working conditions
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from catastrophic workplace injuries or workplace violence or accidents
  • Sleep disorders caused by workplace stress
  • Clinical depression from work-induced stress or a work injury
  • Heart attack or hypertension from psychological stress
