Understanding scarring
Injuries you can claim for
Scarring affects every part of your life, physically, emotionally, and financially. Whatever type of scar you're living with, we've handled claims like yours before and we'll fight for the compensation you deserve.
Facial scarring
Visible facial scars can affect your confidence in everyday social situations and at work.
Keloid & hypertrophic scars
Raised, thickened tissue that keeps growing beyond the original wound. These scars can be itchy, painful, and highly visible.
Burn scars & contractures
Burns that tighten and pucker the skin, potentially restricting movement over joints. Both disfiguring and functionally limiting.
Deep laceration damage
Cuts that slice through tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Deep lacerations can cause lasting mobility issues alongside permanent scarring.
Post-surgical scarring
Scarring from medical procedures, whether necessary surgery after an accident or scarring caused by negligent surgical technique.
Psychological impact
Anxiety, loss of confidence, and depression caused by visible scarring. The emotional toll is a real injury that deserves real compensation.

Questions about making a scar compensation claim? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If your scarring happened in the last three years and someone else caused the accident, you absolutely can claim. Permanent scar claims cover both the physical damage and the psychological impact on your confidence and daily life.
We see people struggling with anxiety about their appearance, medical bills mounting up, and time off work. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Yes. If a botched surgery, delayed treatment, or medical error left you with unnecessary scarring, you can claim compensation. Medical professionals have a duty of care, and when they fail that duty, you deserve every penny for the lasting damage.
Compensation depends on the location, severity, and impact of your scarring. A single visible scar may attract £2,220–£7,350, while severe facial scarring with psychological impact can exceed £91,350. Lost earnings, medical costs, and care expenses are added on top.
Yes, facial scarring typically attracts higher compensation because it's impossible to conceal and affects your confidence in social and professional situations. However, scars on any part of the body that cause pain, restrict movement, or affect your quality of life are taken seriously.
Not a penny. We work on No Win, No Fee¹, so you pay absolutely nothing unless we win your case. Your consultation is completely free and there's no pressure to proceed.
You have three years from the date of your accident to start your claim. Don't wait though. The sooner you act, the stronger your case becomes with fresh evidence and medical records.
Over 20 million people across the UK are living with scars from accidents and incidents, nearly one in three. In 2018 alone, 64,000 children needed treatment for burn injury scars.
These numbers highlight why proper compensation matters when scarring results from someone else's negligence.
Every day, we help hundreds of people across the UK claim the compensation they deserve after a scar or laceration injury.
