All jobs cause stress at some time, but in certain situations, the stress can become overwhelming and make it impossible to perform the job. Stress-related illnesses can include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression.

When Work Causes PTSD, We Can Help You Get Benefits
Workers can experience traumatic events on the job such as racial discrimination, whistleblowing or being forced to perform illegal acts. Women and men can be victims of sexual harassment, including unwanted advances, inappropriate touching, and threats. These issues can cause severe depression, anxiety or PTSD that can render an employee unable to work.
If you have suffered injury due to workplace harassment, discrimination or intimidation, you may be able to file workers’ compensation and employment law claims. We will discuss your case to determine which claims you can file.
PTSD is a debilitating illness that may cause panic attacks, flashbacks, fear, restlessness, headaches, and sleeplessness. People who suffer from PTSD may have trouble concentrating and functioning in social situations, including in the workplace.
