But, workplace mental injuries are just as devastating. People who suffer a mental illness resulting from an accident or stressful event at work may be entitled to increased workers&#8217; compensation benefits. In addition, they may qualify to file a third-party injury claim if someone other than their employer is responsible for the accident<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information About Mental Injuries<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workplace mental injuries and illness fall into three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mental-physical injuries<\/strong>: a mental illness, such as depression, resulting from a physical injury<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Physical-mental injuries<\/strong>: a physical condition or injury resulting from a mental stimulus at work, such as extreme anxiety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mental-mental injuries<\/strong>: a mental illness resulting from an extreme mental stimulus at work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you suffer from mental illness, proving a direct relationship between the accident or traumatic event at work and the illness is necessary in order to collect workers&#8217; compensation benefits. In addition, the traumatic event must be outside of what is considered a &#8220;normal&#8221; work hazard. For example, a police officer who suffers severe anxiety after witnessing his partner being shot may not qualify for benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An experienced workplace accident lawyer can help determine your legal options.
