Disfigurement and Scarring Can Have a Lifelong Impact
Victims of motorcycle accidents can suffer serious injuries that often result in disfigurement or scarring. While you can heal a broken bone or repair a damaged motorcycle, disfigurement such as amputation or severe scarring can have a lifelong impact.
If you or a family member has suffered amputation or some other permanent disfigurement following a serious motorcycle accident, you can contact me, Tim Leigh-Bell. As a Mississauga lawyer who handles disfigurement and scarring cases, I seek the full benefits to which you may be entitled to cover any unique medical treatments and rehabilitative costs.
Compensation Benefits for Disfigurement or Scarring
Motorcycle riders often sustain injuries such as abrasions or road rash following a serious accident. If not properly treated, these injuries can cause skin infection, which can result in severe scarring. Alternatively, riders may suffer a loss of limb in a severe motorcycle accident, or require amputation after the fact to prevent the spread of infection from a catastrophically injured limb.
These injuries can reduce your ability to work and may contribute to a loss of opportunity to seek alternative employment. The psychological effects of disfigurement or scarring can also negatively impact self-esteem and one's overall quality of life.
As your personal injury lawyer, I seek to protect your rights and maximize your insurance settlement. I will:
- Listen and respond to your concerns
- Give you an honest and realistic assessment of your case
- Come to your home or hospital to visit and discuss your case
- Work with health care professionals and other experts, when necessary, to determine the full impact of your injuries on your health and wellness
- Explore all options that include the cost of reconstructive surgery and therapy within your settlement
- Assist you in getting your medical and rehabilitation needs covered by your insurance company and negotiate or sue on your behalf as necessary
- Take your case to trial if necessary to recover the compensation you deserve
