Scarring can be caused in a number of different ways.  One of the most common types of scarring is a burn injury. These can be caused either, from hot liquids and chemicals and fires.

Scarring injuries can also be caused in an assault or in an attack by a dog.  

Any scar, however small can be embarrassing to the person concerned.  The cosmetic effect of scarring is taken into account when making an award of compensation.  A single scar which can be easily hidden away will receive a lower award for compensation than a scar which will be permanently on display.  

Next steps to compensation

The amount of compensation you can claim depends upon the severity of your injury.  We will arrange a medical examination from a Plastic Surgeon to get a report detailing the extent of your scarring.  The expert will describe how severe your injury is, the extent of any discomfort and give a prognosis explaining the length of the time that the scar may last or if any corrective surgery would help.
