    Episode 28: PTSD After a Car Accident: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

    A car accident can leave injuries that don't show up on an X-ray. On this episode of Crashes, Claims & Clarity, Georgia personal injury attorney Darrell Burrow sits down with Dr. J. Todd George, Psy.D., licensed clinical psychologist and evaluation specialist with Atlanta Psychological Services, to discuss the psychological impact that can follow a serious crash or traumatic injury. Dr. George explains that motor vehicle accidents are a significant cause of post-traumatic stress disorder and that symptoms aren't always immediate. Survivors may experience nightmares, heightened anxiety, avoidance of driving, changes in sleep, irritability, withdrawal, or repeatedly replaying the accident in their minds. They also discuss why children can show trauma very differently from adults. Rather than talking about their feelings, children may regress in previously mastered skills or repeatedly reenact the accident through play. Perhaps most importantly, Dr. George explains when normal stress following an accident may have crossed the line into something that deserves professional evaluation. In this episode, you'll learn:Why psychological injuries after car accidents are more common than many people realizeEarly warning signs of trauma, including nightmares, hyperarousal, avoidance, and withdrawalWhy fear of driving after an accident can persistThe general one-month benchmark Dr. George uses when considering psychological evaluationHow PTSD and severe anxiety may affect pain and physical recoveryWhy emotional symptoms can appear weeks after the original accidentHow children may communicate trauma through behavioral regression or repetitive playWhat family members can do to support someone recovering from traumaWhy using drugs or alcohol to numb anxiety is a warning sign that deserves faster attentionPractical strategies for recovery, including sleep and gradual re-exposure when medically appropriate Dr. George leaves listeners with an important reminder: psychological injuries are just as real as physical injuries and deserve appropriate professional care. Connect with Dr. J. Todd George If you or a family member is experiencing ongoing anxiety, changes in behavior, difficulty driving, nightmares, or other emotional concerns following a traumatic event, consider speaking with a qualified mental health professional. Dr. J. Todd George, Psy.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and evaluation specialist with Atlanta Psychological Services, providing comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults.

    Bonus: Teen Driving Safety Tips Every Parent Should Know

    Handing a teenager the car keys means more than giving them freedom. It means preparing them for the responsibility and consequences that come with driving. In this solo episode of Crashes, Claims & Clarity, Georgia attorney Darrell Burrow shares the essential conversations parents should have with teen drivers before they begin driving alone.

    Episode 25: Why Minor Accidents Can Cause Major Injuries

    Many people walk away from a car accident believing they are fine, only to develop pain, stiffness, headaches, or other symptoms days later. In this episode, Darrell Burrow sits down with chiropractor Jay Lerner of Southern Crescent Clinic to discuss why so-called "minor" accidents can still cause significant injuries and why early evaluation matters. Jay explains how adrenaline can mask pain, why inflammation plays a major role in recovery, and how modern lifestyles may make people more vulnerable to injury. He also shares common mistakes people make after a crash, the difference between being pain-free and truly healed, and practical steps anyone can take to support recovery and protect their long-term health. Key TakeawaysVehicle damage does not determine the severity of a person's injuries.Adrenaline can delay symptoms for hours or even days after an accident.Remaining completely inactive after a crash can slow recovery.Hydration, proper movement, and reducing inflammation are critical during healing.Being pain-free does not necessarily mean the body has fully recovered. Recovery after an accident is about more than waiting for pain to disappear. As Jay Lerner explains, early evaluation, proper treatment, and staying active can make a significant difference in long-term outcomes. Even when an accident seems minor, listening to your body and addressing symptoms early may help prevent chronic issues down the road.
