    How Much Compensation For Scarring

    Scarring can happen to any part of the body and the reasons behind compensation amounts are, like all other personal injury claims, dependent upon the extent and level of damage done.

    To find out if you’re entitled to make a compensation claim for scarring, contact our specialist team. Call our team on 0800 342 3206 or get in touch online. 

    Compensation Amounts for Scarring

    Generally speaking, scarring on parts of the body that are often concealed are usually less than scarring on the face. However, there are scars elsewhere that are noticeable. These scars can also cause significant psychological and social issues.

    The amount of compensation you receive will depend on whether your burns or scars are regarded as partial, full or superficial thickness, how you have been psychologically affected by the burn scar, whether there has been a physical disability and if there is a need for surgery.

    Please note: the figures below are intended to serve as a guide only.

    To more accurately find out how much you may be able to claim, and if you could make a claim you should start by speaking to us.

    Level of scarring

    Potential compensation

    A permanent disfiguring scar to the arm, leg or chest. £6,680 – £19,390
    If you have had to undertake an exploratory laparotomy (an invasive abdominal surgical procedure) and have been no internal injuries found Up to £7,380
    Minor scars on legs, hands or one noticeable scar £2,020 – £6,680
    A scar that has arisen because of burns, covering 40% of the body. Because burns cause a higher level of pain, they usually attract higher levels of compensation. In excess of £89,440

    HOW DOES THE CLAIMS PROCESS WORK?

    At Jefferies Solicitors, once we have carried out an initial consultation with you, we will take care of the paperwork required to get your case underway.

    A letter will be sent to you following an initial consultation with your solicitor. This will be a summary of the meeting you had and will confirm that they are happy to take on your case. It will highlight who will be your contact and estimate how long the process will take. The letter will also detail how you will be funding the case and an estimate of costs. If you need to provide any further information this will also be included.

    A letter will then be sent to the defendant, providing details of the accident. The defendant has a fixed period in which they can reply and in their reply, they must state whether or not they are denying or accepting liability for your injuries. If they do accept liability, your solicitor will endeavour to settle the case out of court.
