Recoverable Damages in a Marksville Scarring and Disfigurement Case

Your damages are the physical, mental, emotional, and financial issues and losses you experience from an incident. Such an incident could be a car accident, and such issues and losses could be:

  • Physical scarring and disfigurement
  • Disability or impairment if the disfigurement affects your abilities, such as your ability to work
  • Mental anguish due to your injuries and/or the incident
  • Emotional trauma and/or loss of consortium
  • Social issues, such as difficulty speaking with people
  • Financial losses, such as lost income, earning ability loss, the cost of emergency medical care, and/or the cost of surgery

Punitive Damages

The at-fault party may have been grossly negligent in a catastrophic injury case. If so, a judge could apply punitive damages to your case to punish the at-fault party. A Marksville catastrophic injury attorney from our firm can discuss these damages with you.

How Do I Recover Scarring and Disfigurement Damages in a Marksville Case?

Filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the at-fault party can help you recover damages. However, on your own, you may not be able to recover all your damages or a fair amount for them.

For your claim or suit to be successful, you’ll have to determine and prove fair monetary values for your non-monetary damages, like your physical scarring. You’ll also have to show evidence of your damages and evidence of the at-fault party’s liability for those damages. Additionally, you’d have to establish the elements of negligence in your case and negotiate your payout with the at-fault party’s insurer. If you cannot settle your case in court, you may have to seek recovery in court and present your case to a judge.

All this can be quite challenging to handle by yourself. You can leave it to a Marksville scarring and disfigurement lawyer from our firm to handle all these tasks for you.

How Can a Marksville Scarring and Disfigurement Lawyer Recover My Damages?

There’s a lot your lawyer will do in the fight for your financial recovery. You won’t have to do anything related to your case, and your lawyer will regularly update you about its progress. You can expect your lawyer to do all the following for you and more:

1

List Your Damages:

Your lawyer could identify damages you aren’t aware you can claim, such as therapy costs for treating anxiety or depression.

2

Assess Your Damages:

Your lawyer will have methods for attributing monetary values to your intangible damages, which typically have no dollar amount. Doing so will help your lawyer recover a fair amount for you.

3

Manage Case Communications for You:

You won’t have to worry about speaking with the insurance company or anyone else. Our attorneys will manage all correspondence and calls.

4

Seek Out and Show Evidence Supporting Your Case:

This could be a written statement from your doctor and even a verbal statement from an accident reconstructionist. Depending on your incident, there could be different sources of evidence, such as camera footage.

5

Establish Negligence for Your Case:

To do this, your lawyer will show why the other party owed you a duty of care, how the other party breached this duty, how the breach of duty caused the incident, and how the incident caused your damages.

6

Negotiate Your Settlement or Verdict:

Your lawyer will push for a fair resolution and argue against the opposition. If your lawyer is dealing with an uncompromising insurer, your lawyer can pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault party.

Can You Sue for Disfigurement?

You can sue for disfigurement, and you should if it affects you. You can discuss a personal injury lawsuit with an attorney. They may be able to sue the other party right away or negotiate with an insurer and consider a lawsuit later.

If you’re considering a lawsuit, we encourage you to hire your lawyer right away. This will give your lawyer more time to prepare your case and your suit to meet the lawsuit filing deadline. In Louisiana, this deadline is two years from the incident or injury date, per CC 3493.1.
