What is a scar?
Scarring occurs when the skin is broken, cut, or burned. Scars can negatively affect a person’s body confidence, especially when they are in visible areas that are difficult to cover. This can also have an emotional impact, leading to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
Some scars can be physically painful. Burn victims, in particular, often experience skin tightening around the scarred area, which can restrict movement and cause discomfort.
What causes scarring?
Scars tend to form following lacerations, burns and puncture wounds to the skin. These types of injuries can occur anywhere and at any time, but are frequently linked to accidents such as road traffic collisions, workplace accidents, as well as sporting incidents.
It is also possible to sustain scarring injuries through medical negligence. Excessive scarring can be caused by botched cosmetic surgery or improper treatment by a medical professional.
Can I claim compensation for a scar?
As scars usually follow a more traumatic injury, many people who have been injured seek compensation for their initial injury and not the scars they have gained from it. Scarring is a disfigurement and can have lasting effects on someone’s mental and physical wellbeing, therefore it is important to understand that scarring is in fact an injury that can also be compensated for.
