Disfigurement

Disfigurements can happen for any number of reasons, but the fact remains that they are always painful and costly to treat, and they often result in the person’s physical and mental anguish. There are some disfigurements that are caused because of genetics, including:

  • acne
  • cleft lip
  • birthmarks
  • eczema

Disfigurements can happen because of an accident, including:

  • workplace injury
  • construction accident
  • falls
  • bicycle accident
  • car accident

Disfigurements can be caused by assault or other trauma, including:

  • physical assault
  • rape
  • gunshot wounds
  • intentional falls
  • knife wounds

Disfigurements can also happen because of malpractice, including:

  • dental malpractice
    • nerve damage
    • scars
    • unnecessary tooth extraction
    • unnecessary surgery
    • failed diagnosis or treatment
  • infection
  • medical malpractice
    • unnecessary amputations or amputation of the wrong limb
    • nerve damage
    • lacerations and scars
    • birth injuries
    • failed diagnosis or treatment
    • paralysis
    • infection
  • plastic surgery malpractice
    • nerve damage
    • unnecessary amputation
    • infection
    • failed treatment
    • unrequested changes

Often, disfigurements are caused by someone else. In the case of an accident, someone else may be at fault. In cases of medical, dental or plastic surgery malpractice, the doctor, nurse, dentist, or other medical personnel are responsible. Contact a personal injury attorney to talk about your rights and seek compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering.
