Common Causes

  • Burn injuries from fires, explosions, and chemical contact
  • Deep lacerations from broken glass in car accidents
  • Road rash from motorcycle and bicycle accidents
  • Dog bites and animal attacks targeting the face and extremities
  • Surgical incisions and complications from emergency medical treatment
  • Industrial accidents involving sharp machinery or flying debris

Typical Injuries

  • Hypertrophic and keloid scars on visible body areas
  • Facial disfigurement requiring reconstructive surgery
  • Loss of facial symmetry from fractures and soft tissue damage
  • Permanent skin discoloration and texture changes from burns
  • Emotional and psychological harm including social withdrawal
  • Need for multiple revision surgeries and cosmetic procedures

How We Prove Liability

Scarring and disfigurement claims carry significant emotional damage value because the injuries are permanently visible and affect the victim self image and social interactions. Photographs documenting the progression of scarring from the initial injury through healing are powerful evidence for the jury. Plastic surgeon testimony regarding the permanence of the scars and any future revision surgery options helps establish both the physical and economic dimensions of the damages.

Texas Legal Framework

Texas Pattern Jury Charge specifically includes disfigurement as a separate element of damages, allowing the jury to assign value to the permanent alteration of the victim appearance. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, disfigurement damages compensate for the embarrassment, loss of self esteem, and social limitations caused by visible scarring. Future medical expenses for scar revision surgery, laser treatments, and cosmetic procedures are also recoverable under Texas law.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.

Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.

Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
