I have personally seen a simple rear end fender benders result in PTSD claims. Scratch a PTSD claim and there will be compensation lurking in the background. (please I am sophisticated enough to recognize there are PTSD claims that are based upon real events. However, reality based claims are rare.)
Every combat vet has buddies who survived but never quite came home. But PTSD is now being worn like the neck brace recommended by your ambulance chasing lawyer by a lot of people. PTSD is not an automatic nor universal result of experiencing something unexpectedly exciting or hazardous.
