The story of inquiring about whether to claim medical expenses and alimony, saying that he suffered mental damage from witnessing a car crash, is controversial among netizens. 



Yesterday (20th) on the YouTube channel 'Moon-Chul Han TV', a video titled "I witnessed an accident and I am traumatized by the shock. Is it possible to apply in person?" was posted. 



Reporter A, who was stopping at a red light in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, at around 1:30 am on the 5th, witnessed an accident where a drunk driving vehicle rushing from the opposite side collided with a car in the next lane. 



Reporter A reported the video to a lawyer and asked if he wanted to ask for medical expenses from a drunk driver, saying, "I didn't have a direct accident, but I had to watch the accident in front of my eyes and the psychological trauma caused by it is severe." 



Then, Mr. A claimed the drunk driver for personal insurance, but he refused it, and the police said, "The punishment can be strengthened by eyewitness testimony, but the claim for treatment costs seems to have to be resolved through a civil lawsuit." 



At the same time, Mr. A asked lawyer Han Moon-cheol for advice, saying, "If I go to civil affairs, it is a non-contact accident, will I be able to receive medical expenses and alimony?"

A lawyer asked, "How many times have you received psychiatric treatment?", and Mr. A replied, "I have not been to a psychiatrist right now, and I have received one treatment for nerve stabilization at an oriental clinic." 



Then, a lawyer explained about PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and said, "If you continued treatment right after the accident, you could sue, but if it's been 8 days since you went to an oriental clinic, it would be difficult to acknowledge the causal relationship. "However, if you are unable to visit the hospital due to circumstances or you are unable to recover from trauma, it is also a good idea to file a lawsuit yourself." 



The video was viewed more than 30,000 times as of 3 pm today (21st) and attracted the attention of netizens. 



Netizens who saw this commented, "I was shocked to see the video. Is it possible to apply in person?", "I wonder why he went to the oriental clinic because he was traumatized", "I'm curious about the contents of a civil lawsuit", "I didn't know if it was possible to receive a non-contact accident in person." ", "I think I was surprised", etc.
