Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as PTSD, is a psychological injury caused by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event.
Symptoms often include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Those who suffer from PTSD may require psychological counselling, medication, and other therapeutic help to assist with recovery. The personal injury team at Watson Goepel will help organize your rehabilitation and obtain funding from those responsible.

Orthopedic injuries are among the most common consequences of car accidents and slip-and-fall accidents. These injuries can be minor and heal quickly, but can often have long-lasting effects and devastating consequences for an injured person, leading to conditions such as arthritis, chronic pain, and other conditions.
Falls are the leading cause of injury related hospitalizations in Canada with 20-30% of seniors experiencing one or more falls each year.
