Shock damage, also known as confrontation damage, is the psychological damage you suffer when confronted with another person's accident. Especially when that other person is a close relative, the shock can be severe. An example involving shock damage is when a parent sees their child being hit by a car. These images are intense and can have major psychological consequences for the parent. If the perpetrator of the accident is responsible, the parent may also receive compensation for shock damage.
Shock damage: when am I entitled to it? To be compensated for shock damage, there are a number of legal requirements. First, there must have been observation of an accident, or its direct consequences. In addition, this confrontation must have caused emotional shock and a psychiatric recognised illness must have arisen from that confrontation.

Affection damage and shock damage are different from each other. Shock damage is damage in the form of sustained psychological injury (a mental disorder) from seeing an accident or its traces. Affection damage, on the other hand, is damage in the form of grief due to losing a loved one. For both cases, it is possible to obtain compensation, subject to conditions.
