In El Paso, Texas, a distressing incident at a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru highlights the severe psychological impact of assault. Three employees, Luis Arturo Dominguez, Jesus Dominguez, and Elijah Richard Garcia, were arrested for threatening a customer with handguns during a dispute. This act of aggression illustrates the potential for long-lasting mental and emotional trauma in assault cases, including depression, anxiety, fear, anger, and PTSD. Such impacts, though challenging to quantify legally, are significant components of personal injury claims, underscoring the need for comprehensive legal support to address the full extent of a victim’s suffering.

The incident involving three Dunkin’ Donuts employees in El Paso, Texas, who threatened a customer with handguns during a drive-thru dispute, underscores the potential for significant mental and emotional trauma in assault cases. In such situations, victims can experience a range of psychological effects, including depression, anxiety, fear, anger, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

These emotional and mental impacts are not only profound but also complex, making it challenging to quantify and prove in legal settings. However, they are recognized as legitimate forms of damage in personal injury cases. Evidence such as expert testimony from mental health professionals, witness accounts, personal journals, and medical records are essential in demonstrating the extent of emotional distress and mental anguish caused by such traumatic events​​​​.

Given the seriousness of these mental and emotional consequences, personal injury legal practices must emphasize the depth and real-life impact of mental anguish in assault cases. This approach not only acknowledges the full spectrum of the victim’s suffering but also supports the pursuit of appropriate compensation and justice.

What Our Clients Say

I would never have been able to resolve my insurance claim without Mr. Traub's hard work and guidance. There were so many times I just wanted to give up, but his compassion and encouragement provided the support I needed to get through the case - I couldn't be more grateful. Overall, he and his staff exhibited a high level of professionalism and consistent communication, so I'm very happy with their services!
