The assault, including the physical blow to the head, constituted the traumatic incident and the resulting PTSD was suffered 'because of physical injuries' within the meaning of s.29(1)(c); entitlement to cover for PTSD is established on the basis of the medical opinion that the 1983 assault triggered the disorder.
