Yes. A serious accident can have a serious impact on a person emotionally. Anxieties, depression, an inability to sleep are all common after a serious auto accident. It is perfectly acceptable to ask that the insurance company compensate you for these symptoms.
More importantly, you should seek professional help immediately. Even if you are normally not the type of person to seek the help of a psychologist or psychiatrist, tell your primary care doctor about what you are experiencing and get the help of a specialist in San Francisco or wherever you live as soon as you can.
