Frequently Asked Questions

How much compensation can I get for scarring in Canada?
Disfigurement damages vary enormously based on the location (face vs. torso), severity, permanence, and the plaintiff's age and occupation. Facial scarring on a young person can yield $50,000–$200,000+. Minor scarring on covered areas typically yields $5,000–$20,000. Awards also include the cost of scar treatment (laser therapy, surgery) as a separate head of damages.
Does my occupation affect my disfigurement award?
Yes. Occupations that depend on appearance (models, actors, public-facing sales roles) can justify higher disfigurement awards. Courts also consider whether the scar causes psychological distress. A plastic surgeon's report quantifying the scar and outlining treatment options is essential evidence.
Can I claim the cost of scar treatment separately?
Yes. Laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, silicone sheets, steroid injections, and reconstructive surgery are recoverable as special damages on top of your general disfigurement award. Get written cost estimates from a licensed plastic or reconstructive surgeon.
