Harrisburg Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Lawyer
Pets play a central part in the lives of many people, often assuming a role as if they were just another family member. Beyond that, seeing animals in zoos, wildlife parks, or other settings is greatly appealing as a recreational and therapeutic activity. But in an inadequately supervised environment or with an insufficiently trained animal, the risk of traumatic injury is always present.
Dog bites and animal attacks can cause significant physical injury and when these injuries are particularly severe they may be fatal. But regardless of the severity of bodily harm, some of the most lasting damage is likely to result from psychological wounds.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) represents one of the most life-altering conditions likely to arise from an animal attack. If you have been diagnosed with PTSD, contact the Harrisburg Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511.

Effects of PTSD
Most commonly associated with combat veterans and the victims of violent crime, PTSD can affect anyone who has been party to a traumatic event. Being attacked by an animal can radically alter a person’s perception of the world, turning something that was once safe and friendly into a threatening and frightening presence. Sufferers with PTSD may be faced with the following interruptions and distractions in their lives:
- Inescapable troubling thoughts and worries
- Constant reliving of the incident
- Emotional detachment
- Prone to abnormally startled reactions
- Significant sleep impairments
