Scarring can be more traumatic than what most of us expect, and can often be the result of a personal injury. Scars vary greatly and can lead to unexpected consequences on people’s lives. For example, if a model was to sustain a scar this could easily destroy their career and could have a damaging physiological effect on them, it is also possible that scarring could leave anyone with a disadvantage for current and future employment.
If you have received a scar as a result of personal injury, whether they were caused by the actual injury itself or any surgery needed as a result of the injury, it is likely that you may be entitled to compensation. You should be examined for a medical report to access the extent of the injury, and depending on the scar, it may be possible that the advice of a plastic surgeon is needed. Depending on the emotional effects sustaining the scar has had on you, a psychological report may also be required to determine just how badly you have been affected.
It is worth noting that the amount of compensation varies depending on various factors, such as where the scar is, whether you are male or female, the size and type of scar amongst other factors.
