Frequently Asked Questions

How much compensation can I get for facial scarring in the US?
Facial scarring jury verdicts range from $25,000 for minor blemishes to $500,000+ for severe disfigurement. State caps on non-economic damages limit awards in some states. Age, occupation, psychological impact, and the quality of expert testimony all influence the jury's decision. A plastic surgeon's report is essential.
What states cap disfigurement damages?
About 30 states have caps on non-economic damages (which include disfigurement). California caps medical malpractice non-economic damages at $350,000 (increasing annually). Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice at $250,000. Motor vehicle accident and premises liability cases have different caps. Check your state's specific rules.
Can I claim punitive damages for disfigurement?
Punitive damages are available if the defendant acted with malice, fraud, or gross negligence. In personal injury cases, punitive damages are rare but have been awarded where, for example, a drunk driver caused severe facial injuries. Punitive damages are separate from compensatory damages and can be very large.
