stem from the accident and become another cause of action. You need to suck it up and stay with the lawsuit or you'll be stuck paying for future therapy yourself.
If opposing counsel hears you dread being deposed or testifying, your lawyer has his hands tied and you will far more likely be made to recount your issues. Don't tie your lawyers hands but do let him know an early settlement would be ideal.
