Disfiguring Scars

By Gerry Oginski

You are walking down the street one summer day and notice someone in a tank top with horribly disfiguring scars. You think to yourself, "How could they have gotten such scars? Was it from an accident? Was it from surgery?" Are those scars so disfiguring that you are afraid to talk to that person?

Disfiguring scars can be terribly embarrassing for the victim. They may be self-conscious about how they appear during the warm months of the year. Have you ever noticed someone at the beach who always wears long sleeve shirts or long pants? It may be that they have disfigurements somewhere on the body that they simply don't want others to see.

Injured victims who suffer permanent scars often have lifelong reminders about their accident or medical care. These injuries are compensable. People may comment on the scars, and it may cause significant social discomfort. Watch the video to learn about one client I represented who had awful looking scars.

If you know someone who suffered significant injury or deformity, I encourage you to have them explore my website http://www.oginski-law.com to learn more about how cases like these work in NY.
