ClientHow Scarring and Other Disfigurement Can Affect Your Life and What Your Recoverable Damages May Be
The American Medical Association (AMA) Journal of Ethics explains that scarring can affect one’s identity and the way one interacts with the world. The parts of your body that have been disfigured, the severity of scarring, and the unique details of your life will be relevant as we assess your damages.
Recoverable damages for those with disfiguring injuries may include:
Lost Income and Earning Power
Perhaps even more so than a broken arm or even a brain injury, disfigurement can interfere with your professional life. If you have a job that requires you to interact with others, your disfigurement may prevent you from doing your job effectively.
If you cannot work at all, must reduce your hours, or must change jobs, you may lose:
- Income
- Earning power
- A career that brought you fulfillment
- Potential bonuses and promotions
- Work-related benefits
If someone has taken these things from you due to their negligence, we’ll work to hold them accountable.
Pain and Suffering
You may feel daily distress because of scarring and disfigurement. Whether due to physical pain or the psychological and emotional toll of your injuries, you may have serious symptoms to overcome. Our team will seek compensation for:
- Emotional and psychological distress
- Depression
- Social anxiety
- Difficulty sleeping
- Lost quality of life
- Suicidality
- Any other types of pain and suffering caused by your disfigurement
A disfigurement attorney in Lafayette, LA, will calculate the cost of your non-economic damages. Our team works with psychologists and other mental health experts who can diagnose your symptoms.
Medical Expenses
Scarring and disfigurement may require two stages of medical care:
- Medical care to treat your injuries
- Medical care to correct the scarring or disfigurement
Our team will work to recover compensation for both. The journal Frontiers in Psychology explains that reconstructive surgery may help those with disfiguring injuries. If you pursue such surgeries or any other treatment to improve your disfigurement, we’ll include the cost in your lawsuit.
If you have any other damages, we’ll identify them and determine their cost.
