Understanding Scarring and Disfigurement
Scarring and disfigurement injuries involve permanent changes to the skin and underlying tissues, often resulting from traumatic events such as:
These injuries can leave visible scars that affect appearance and self-confidence. Some scars may also cause functional impairments, such as limited mobility or difficulty performing daily activities.
If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, our attorneys can help you understand your rights and fight for the justice you deserve.
Examples of Disfigurement
A variety of injury types can be considered disfiguring. That is why it is important to discuss your case with an experienced attorney. Common examples of disfigurement in personal injury cases include:
- Scarring
- Burns
- Surgical repair
- Amputation
- Any permanent change to your physical appearance
Very obvious scarring can cause both cosmetic embarrassment and physical discomfort due to inflexibility of the flesh. Severe disfigurement can affect a person’s ability to get a certain job, make new relationships, and enjoy various recreational activities. It can also cause emotional distress and psychological problems that require treatment.
Legal Grounds for Scarring and Disfigurement Claims
Victims of scarring and disfigurement injuries may be entitled to compensation if their injuries were caused by negligence or wrongdoing. To establish a claim, it must be proven that:
- The responsible party had a duty of care
- That duty was breached through negligence or intentional harm
- The breach directly caused the scarring or disfigurement
In Texas, injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident. Additionally, Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning compensation may be reduced if the injured party is partially at fault.
The Impact of Scarring on Victims
Scarring and disfigurement can have long-lasting effects on a victim’s life, including:
- Physical limitations – Some scars restrict movement or require ongoing medical treatment.
- Emotional distress – Victims may experience anxiety, depression, or social withdrawal.
- Long-term health concerns – Scars can worsen over time, leading to complications like keloids or contractures.
At Thomas J. Henry Law, we provide compassionate legal support to ensure victims receive the compensation they deserve for both their physical and emotional suffering.
Compensation for Scarring and Disfigurement Injuries
Victims can pursue economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses – Surgeries, skin grafts, and ongoing treatments
- Lost wages – Compensation for missed work or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering – Emotional distress and loss of quality of life
The severity of the injury, its permanence, and its impact on the victim’s daily life all play a role in determining compensation. Expert testimony from medical and psychological professionals can help establish the true extent of damages.
Choosing the Right Scarring & Disfigurement Lawyer
Selecting the right lawyer is crucial to securing fair compensation. Look for an attorney who is experienced in personal injury law, particularly scarring and disfigurement cases, as experience in these claims ensures a deeper understanding of both medical and emotional impacts.
During your consultation, ask about their experience, success rates, and approach to handling cases like yours. Transparency, communication, and a proven track record are key. At Thomas J. Henry Law, our experienced team provides personalized strategies to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Your Disfigurement Injury Questions Answered
We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
Following an accident, there are always more questions than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer any questions you have about your injury case.
How Does the “No Win No Fee” Promise Work?
The Thomas J. Henry “No Win No Fee” promise works as part of a contingency fee agreement. Instead of receiving payments from clients, we recoup fees and expenses from the final settlement or verdict our clients receive.
This allows us to start working on your case as soon as you hire us, ensuring that your case is handled with the urgency it deserves. It also means you can focus on getting better rather than cutting us a check.
The percentage we collect may vary depending on the complexity of your case, but you will be kept informed so you know what we are collecting before your case is closed.
Even better, you owe us nothing if we don’t win your case! Because our fees are collected as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, we do not collect anything unless and until you get your recovery. This means there is no risk to hiring a qualified attorney to handle your case!
Do I Have to Pay to Speak with an Injury Attorney?
Thomas J. Henry Law offers free case reviews so that you can better understand your legal options. This means you pay nothing for your first consultation. Additionally, Thomas J. Henry Law works on a contingency fee basis meaning that if you do choose to hire us, you pay us nothing unless and until we win your case.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Help Me Settle My Case?
Insurance companies will attempt to pay out as little as possible when resolving an injury claim. When an individual pursues compensation from an insurance company without the aid of an attorney, the insurance company may see the lack of representation as an opportunity to lowball the injured victim as there is no immediate risk of trial or legal recourse.
By hiring a competent attorney who has a reputation for achieving large verdicts in the courtroom, you are sending a message to the insurer. It will provide the insurance company with extra incentive to offer a fair settlement the first time.
If that first offer is not fair, an experienced personal attorney will have the resources and the knowledge to negotiate with the insurance company in pursuit of a better offer.
What is a Contingency Fee?
In a contingency fee arrangement, an attorney agrees to accept a fixed percentage of your recovery as payment. This means that if you win your case, your attorney will collect their fees and expenses from the money awarded to you. However, if you lose your case, your attorney will collect nothing.
Most lawyers prefer not to work on contingency cases for two reasons:
- There is a risk the firm will be paid nothing
- Any payment is delayed until money is collected from the opposing party
Generally, a lawyer who accepts contingency fee cases:
- Regularly represents clients who lack the financial resources to pay hourly attorney’s fees (as is often the case for personal injury victims).
- Is more selective about the cases they accept.
- Is very confident in their ability to win the cases they choose to handle.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
The cost associated with hiring a personal injury attorney and how payment is collected may vary from firm to firm. At Thomas J. Henry, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we don’t charge our clients a penny unless and until we win their case.
Working on a contingency fee basis allows clients access to resources and legal representation they might otherwise struggle to afford. The more serious a case is, the more money it costs to take to trial. This is because complex litigation tends to take longer to resolve and the entities involved fight harder.
This is especially true if your lawsuit is against a large company, as would be the case in a trucking accident or on-the-job injury. Such companies employ teams of lawyers and have seemingly unlimited financial resources. You need an attorney who has the same. Thomas J. Henry employs a team of more than 100 attorneys and has the money to fight your case out to the end.
Finally, by collecting any fees and expenses after a verdict or settlement is secured, Thomas J. Henry can help ensure his clients are able to focus on healing. “The client’s job is to heal. We will handle the rest,” says Thomas J. Henry.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
In Texas, a personal injury case is only worth what a jury is willing to award you. This is why you need an attorney who can not only prove the economic damages you have sustained due to your accident, but can also demonstrate the value of non-economic damages you may have sustained, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
