When an Accident Results in Disfigurement (Part B)

Types of Disfigurement Suffered in an Illinois Accident

One type of disfigurement commonly suffered in an Illinois accident is scarring from burns. When an accident results in severe burn injuries it can leave an individual permanently disfigured.

Not only does the individual have to deal with the painful and costly treatment of these burn injuries, but the scarring can lead to additional issues and complications long after treatment. Emotional distress may be suffered, especially if the scarring is on any visible part of the body.

Permanent scarring can also be a result of facial injuries or lacerations. Depending on the circumstances of the Illinois accident, the function or shape of a body part may also become disfigured.

Disfiguring injuries of the nose, teeth or other parts of the face can lead to severe emotional suffering. This type of disfigurement may leave emotional consequences that last a lifetime.

Another type of disfigurement commonly suffered from an Illinois accident is the loss of a limb. This can lead to serious complications such as infection and chronic pain, but can also result in the loss of employment if the disfigurement prevents the victim from continuing in the same occupation.

The need for assistive devices or a prosthetic device can also be costly. You may be able to receive compensation for these costs and other related expenses in an Illinois personal injury claim.
