It is a difficult process to understand the value of a scar compensation claim, but the following are factors which are taken into consideration:
It is not unusual for someone who has been scarred to also suffer psychological effects, such as a loss of confidence and a change in lifestyle.
Claims involving scarring or lacerations often take longer to settle that those claims that are straightforward muscular injuries. It may take a while for the scarring to settle and it may take some time to establish whether or not the scarring will get better in appearance. It is important, where possible to keep a photographic history of the scarring as scars will change in appearance and texture over time.
We can also support you with interim compensation payments throughout your case, which can cover costs for things like travel to hospital appointments.
In general you have three years from the date of injury or reasonable knowledge of injury to bring a compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to a legal team as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
