Erik Heninger, a partner at Heninger Garrison Davis (HGD), recently served as a featured speaker on a national webinar titled "Auto Accidents and the Brain." Known for his expertise in personal injury law, Erik addressed a critical and often overlooked aspect of car accidents: the psychological trauma that victims endure.
"Beyond the Physical: PTSD and Other Psychological Trauma"
In his presentation, “Beyond the Physical: PTSD and Other Psychological Trauma,” Erik delved into the complexities of mental health challenges that often accompany physical injuries in car accidents. While broken bones and concussions are visible and measurable, the emotional scars—such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression—can be equally debilitating.
Erik emphasized the importance of recognizing these invisible injuries, not just in legal cases but also in how victims are supported throughout their recovery journeys. He shared insights on how PTSD and psychological trauma can manifest in survivors, including flashbacks, avoidance behaviors, emotional numbness, and heightened anxiety. By highlighting these factors, he underscored the need for a holistic approach to client advocacy that goes beyond physical injuries.
Advocating for Comprehensive Justice
As a seasoned trial lawyer, Erik has long been an advocate for ensuring that accident victims receive comprehensive justice. During the webinar, he addressed key strategies for representing clients with psychological trauma, including working with mental health professionals, gathering expert testimony, and presenting these issues compellingly in court.
“Justice isn’t just about repairing the physical damage. It’s about understanding the full scope of what someone has endured and making sure their voice is heard,” Erik said during the session.
A Voice for the Vulnerable
The webinar provided a platform for Erik to showcase not only his deep understanding of the legal landscape but also his unwavering commitment to helping vulnerable individuals rebuild their lives. His ability to navigate complex legal issues while showing empathy for his clients has made him a standout leader at HGD and a trusted voice in the legal community.
