Scarring and Disfigurement Claims in Michigan
Permanent scars carry both physical and emotional weight. Michigan law recognizes disfigurement as a compensable harm.
More Than Skin Deep
Visible scarring and disfigurement can affect confidence, relationships, and employment. The psychological toll is a real and compensable part of the claim.
Valuing Disfigurement
Factors include the location and visibility of scars, the victim's age, and the availability and cost of reconstructive treatment.
Documenting the Harm
Photographs over time and testimony about the personal impact strengthen these claims. To sue an at-fault driver for pain and suffering in Michigan, your injury must meet the serious-impairment-of-body-function threshold.
