What Is Disfigurement?
A disfiguring injury leaves a person’s appearance physically altered.
The most common disfigurements are severe scar tissue damage, chemical burns, and amputation, but many other types of serious injuries can leave a person disfigured.
In some cases, the disfigurement may not have resulted from an accident but a congenital disability or a chronic illness or disease.
Examples of Disfiguring Injuries
The severity of the scarring and disfigurement that someone suffers depends on the individual circumstances and how the injury occurred.
Emergency medical treatment options are designed to save a person, but they sometimes cause more severe scars or disfigurement injuries.
Medical procedures to repair damage (like plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skin grafts, or cosmetic surgery) can also impact healing rate and quality.
If you suffer from any disfiguring injuries below, contact personal injury attorneys to discuss your case.
Common disfiguring and scarring injuries include:
- Thermal, chemical, or electrical burn injury
- Broken and fractured bones
- Facial injuries
- Severe lacerations and puncture wounds
