Mental health issues are complex. From workplace stress to personal injuries, the consequences can be profound and life-altering.
Some of the most common situations leading to mental health compensation claims include:
Beyond the immediate emotional impact, mental health issues can affect all aspects of your life, from your ability to work to your relationships with others. The financial burden can also be significant, with therapy costs, medication and potential loss of earnings if you're unable to work. Making a compensation claim can help you to recover these costs and will be financial recompense for your suffering.
A injury refers to any mental or emotional harm that happens as a result of a traumatic event, act of negligence or intentional misconduct. Unlike physical injuries, which are often visible and easily diagnosed, injuries can be more subtle but equally serious. They can affect your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, impacting your ability to function normally in daily life.
injuries can manifest in various forms, such as anxiety, depression, (PTSD), and emotional distress. These conditions can result from a range of situations, including workplace harassment, accidents, medical negligence, or witnessing a traumatic event.
It's important to note that injuries are not just “in your head”. They are real, diagnosable conditions that can have long-term, debilitating consequences on your wellbeing. Treatment often involves therapy, medication and ongoing support, which can be both time-consuming and costly.
At Switalskis, we understand the complexities of injuries and are committed to helping you navigate the legal process for claiming the compensation you deserve. We approach each case with empathy and expertise, making sure you get the support you need every step of the way.
Though they may not be physically identifiable, injuries can be as debilitating as physical injuries, affecting your mental wellbeing and overall quality of life. That can make the process of making a claim more difficult. However, at Switalskis, we understand the complexities of injury claims and are here to guide you through the process. Here are some common examples of injuries for which you may be eligible to make a claim:
Often associated with traumatic events like accidents, assaults or military combat, PTSD can have a long-lasting impact on your mental health. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety.
Workplace stress, bullying or even medical negligence can lead to severe anxiety and depression. These conditions can affect your ability to work, socialise and carry out daily activities.
An accident or traumatic event can sometimes result in the development of a specific phobia, such as a fear of driving after a car accident. These phobias can limit your ability to function normally in certain situations.
Making a compensation claim for mental health issues might seem like a daunting process, especially when you're already dealing with emotional distress. But with our expert team at Switalskis, the process is made more manageable. Here's a straightforward guide to help you understand the process:
When you call us, we'll discuss the details of your situation, assess the potential of your claim and outline the next steps you’ll need to take.
We'll begin by collecting evidence. This can include medical records, therapy notes, witness accounts and any relevant documents that can prove negligence or the cause of your injury.
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary evidence to make your claim as strong as possible, we'll forward your claim to the responsible party and their insurer. We’ll handle all communications to help you avoid dealing with unnecessary stress.
The defendant insurer will assess the claim and confirm if they accept or dispute it. If the claim is accepted, we’ll then take appropriate evidential steps and negotiate for a suitable outcome.
If an agreeable settlement can’t be reached, your case may have to go to court. Our solicitors are experienced in handling personal injury cases in court and we’ll make sure that you’re prepared for any court appearances, where we’ll represent and support you.
Upon a successful claim, we'll make sure the compensation is paid to you to provide some financial relief as you work towards recovery.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the incident that caused or contributed to the mental health issue to start a claim. However, there are some exceptions:
It’s essential that you start your claim as soon as possible to make sure you have the best chances of success. Mental health claims can be complex, and early action helps in gathering evidence and building a strong case. Contact our team as soon as you feel ready, and we’ll help you to understand your options.

Compensation for mental health issues can support your recovery and relieve the financial burdens that you may be facing due to your injury. Personal injury compensation is divided into two categories:
The exact amount of compensation you’ll be awarded for a successful claim varies based on the severity of your mental health condition, the impact it has had on your life and specific financial losses.
All of our personal injury claims operate on a no win, no fee basis. If your claim isn't successful, you won't have to pay legal fees, and you can expect there to be no upfront or surprise costs. If your claim is successful, your compensation award will include a contribution to your legal fees.
