Disfigurement and Scarring

After suffering catastrophic injuries, you hope that the wounds will eventually heal, and that you will be able to go on with your life as you did before the accident. Sadly, for severe injuries, that is often not the case. Serious wounds can, and usually do, leave behind scars and disfigurements. These lasting marks can cause deep psychological trauma, and even lead to handicaps that will impact your ability to continue life independently.

Victims of negligence who suffer from scars and disfigurements deserve to be compensated for their suffering. However, insurance companies rarely see it this way, and will fight to make sure you get as little compensation as possible. That is where we at The Lenahan Law Firm come in. With our knowledge and skill, our Dallas scarring and disfigurement attorneys can ensure that you get the settlement you truly deserve.

When you suffer a serious injury, whether it is an external or internal injury, it is very likely that some level of scarring or disfigurement will be left behind. The human body is capable of truly incredible recovery, however, that does not mean that it can heal perfectly. Deep lacerations and road rash, in particular, often leave serious scars behind. These scars can cause severe emotional trauma, and any disfigurements, such as an amputation of a limb, could result in serious handicaps that impact your ability to work, enjoy your favorite hobbies, and live an independent life.

Sadly, these lasting scars are often the direct result of another person’s negligence. Many victims have been left with disabilities and visible scars due to someone else’s poor decisions. When this happens, the victims deserve proper compensation. Scenarios that commonly lead to scarring and disfigurement include:

There is no excuse for these kinds of accidents when they are caused by the negligence of one person. There is no shrugging off a severe scar, as it will be with you for a lifetime. Even though a scar marks that a wound has healed, it can still have a profound impact on your life.
