More details to this question:
Local Mechanic replaced my brake lines on my truck and when i took it home, i drove 50 miles and the brake lines failed. There was no accident and no one was physically hurt but I am seriously traumatized. They offered to fix it and I turned them down and took it to the dealer where they confirmed they put the brake lines in wrong. Tobyhanna, PA

I'm glad you're OK. Without a physical injury, there is no legal redress for an emotional or mental injury in PA (and most if not all states) if this was negligence in not fixing the brakes properly, Intentional or reckless behavior does allow for damages for an emotional injury but it is hard to prove it was recklessness or intentional and unless you are debilitated and unable to work, the damages wouldn't make bringing a lawsuit worth it.
