Picture this: You work the graveyard shift at a gas station by yourself. A man comes in and demands that you empty the cash from the register or he will shoot you while holding you at gunpoint.
You do what he says because that is what you are trained to do. When he leaves, you call the police and give a statement.
In the days that follow, you find that you are suffering from anxiety and panic attacks to the point that you can’t even think about going back to work.
You can’t eat. You can’t sleep. You can’t be alone at work. You suffer from PTSD.
Eventually, you lose your job. You file for workers’ compensation and win. You are then compensated for all of your lost wages and the cost of seeing a workers’ comp psychologist.
