Claiming compensation for emotional distress, psychological trauma, or mental anguish is entirely permissible under personal injury and tort law, either as a "parasitic" damage attached to physical injuries or, in specific contexts, as a standalone claim (such as intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress). Proving emotional distress typically requires robust documentation, psychological expert testimony, counseling records, and clear evidence linking the defendant's conduct directly to your mental suffering.
