Scarring is often an inevitable result of the healing process after a traumatic injury to the skin. While the result of another injury, scars themselves can cause significant emotional and psychological distress and serve as a constant reminder of a traumatic experience. While some scars may be easily covered by clothing or makeup, scars that develop on the face or over a large portion of the body can be particularly troubling for victims. Fortunately, the law recognizes scarring and other types of permanent disfigurement as a compensable injury, which means that individuals who develop scars after accidents caused by negligence may be able to obtain financial compensation from those responsible. The personal injury attorneys of Flaherty Fardo are committed to helping injury victims recover and work hard to hold negligent parties accountable for their actions.
Scars form when fibrous tissue replaces normal skin after an injury and are a normal process of wound repair. As a result, scarring can occur after any injury that breaks the skin. Some of the more common types of accidents that have the potential to result in scarring include:
Of course, there are many other types of accidents that have the potential to result in significant scarring. Because of the legal complexities that are often involved with personal injury matters, it is important for victims to have their case reviewed by an experienced Pittsburgh personal injury attorney.
There are many different types of scars. Sometimes, scars grow abnormally and become raised or discolored; this could be the result of substandard medical care, which may potentially give rise to an additional claim for medical malpractice. Some scar types include:
Anyone who has developed these scar types after receiving medical treatment for a wound or after a planned surgery should be certain to discuss their case with a Pittsburgh personal injury attorney.
Individuals who have developed permanent scars after an accident or due to the negligence of medical professionals may be entitled to significant compensation. To schedule a free consultation with one of our lawyers, call Flaherty Fardo today at (412) 802-6666.
I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
