When an Accident Causes Disfiguring Scars ...
Almost any accident can cause a scar, but when the scar is terribly disfiguring, when it is a significant deformity, when it causes embarrassment, the victim has a right to be compensated by the party responsible for causing the accident.

It can be a terrible psychological burden to know that a scar affects the way others look at you. For women and children especially, it can be difficult to live with a disfiguring scar from a burn injury, a dog bite or a serious car accident injury. I am Jonathan D. Katz, a personal injury attorney in New Paltz, New York.
- The scars from burn injuries can require multiple, painful skins grafts. It is important to have the financial resources to pay for the surgeries and for compensation for pain and suffering.
- A dog bite attack is nearly always traumatic for the victim. Too often, the scars and nerve damage are a continuing reminder of the trauma. The victims are often young children who need extensive medical and psychological treatment.
- For many years, I handled personal injury claims for an insurance company. I understand how to make effective personal injury claims involving scars.
If you have suffered serious scars because of someone else's negligence, you need and deserve compensation for your on-going pain and suffering as well as for the recommended medical treatments.
