Philadelphia Scarring Injury Lawyers

Representation After Life-Changing Injuries

Under Pennsylvania workers' compensation law, you may be entitled to a specific loss award if you suffer a serious, permanent disfigurement to the head, face or neck. Disfigurement can include permanent scarring and loss of body parts. On the face, this may involve damage to or loss of teeth, eyes, ears and nose.

Injured workers and their attorneys do not always agree with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and insurance companies about what is or is not a disfigurement, however. Even if a disfigurement is obvious, you may need a workers' compensation lawyer to help you get standard benefits and a specific loss award. Kenneth R. Schuster & Associates, P.C., has the experience to fight for you. For a free consultation, please call our Philadelphia scarring injury attorneys at 610-892-9200 or contact us online.

Injured Workers Need Compensation to Move Forward

Disfigurement typically results in physical and emotional pain, and facial disfigurements can be especially traumatic. In addition to the possibility of blindness or hearing loss, facial disfigurements may permanently alter the way a person looks. This may cause depression, anxiety and withdrawal from social interactions as the person adjusts to life after the injury.

Scars and other disfigurements can be the result of burn injuries, deep cuts, nerve damage, eye injuries and amputation. Workplace accidents such as fires, explosions, equipment malfunctions, falls, toxic exposure and vehicle accidents can lead to disfiguring injuries.

Victims of these accidents may need multiple surgeries and cosmetic procedures to repair their injuries. Their recovery may also include rehabilitative and occupational therapy as well as psychological counseling. The cost for years of specialized medical care will be significant. We can argue for compensation and medical benefits to cover these costs and for wage-loss benefits if you cannot return to work.
