Yes, you may have a case. In every accident case, the plaintiff must prove physical injury in order to be successful, before said party can collect damages for mental anguish. However this rule does not apply to cases brought against funeral homes for mishandling bodily remains. The family members can collect for mental anguish suffering without proving physical injury. I would be happy to discuss your case for free. I have offices on Florida and work with a law firm in Houston Tx
