Counseling, Therapy, and Other Resources

After a drunk driving accident, the injuries can be severe or your family may have even suffered the death of a loved one. As a result, the emotional toll of this kind of accident can be incredibly difficult to bear alone.

There are resources available in the local community to help with counseling and/or therapy for those who believe this will be helpful. Your emotional health can be as important as physical health, so it is important to take care of yourself as best as possible.

Finding a Counselor or Therapist

Your attorney can help you to connect with a therapist or counselor that can help you, or your loved ones, cope with the aftermath of a drunk driving caused accident. There are local resources that can help, as well as a direct connection with those individuals who provide counseling services.

The cost of these services can also be sought as part of your personal injury lawsuit. Had it not been for the illegal actions of the drunk driver, you would not be injured and would not need counseling to help with the pain, anger, fear, and other feelings caused by such a serious accident. Because of this, the costs of those services are appropriately considered as the result of the accident.

With the help of your attorney, you can seek recovery of any costs of victim assistance services, including counseling or therapy, as part of your personal injury lawsuit. These damages should not be your problem to bear, they should belong to the person who caused your injuries.
