A burn or a scar resulting from any injury can result in great embarrasment and humiliation, particularly if it is visible on the face or hands at conversational distances.
Accidental Injury Advocates, Ltd. has succeeded, on numerous occasions, in obtaining substantial compensation for individuals who have been permanently scarred as a result of the negligence of others.
If you have significant scarring or burns still visible for months after your accident, be very cautious if the insurance company tries to offer you a low settlement or tries to downplay the significance of your scarring.
Depending on the severity of scarring and its location, it is oftentimes appropriate to refer you to a selected plastic surgeon who is able to offer an opinion on the permanency of the scarring, the advisability of scar revision surgery, and the cost of any such surgery. This can add significant value to your case.
It is also extremely helpful, particularly regarding facial scars, to have "before" and "after" pictures. Particularly on children, the best photographs are the professionally produced school pictures. Even relatively minor scarring can appear much more pronounced in these photos. Make sure you order the 8x10 shots.
