When the human body sustains cuts, burns, or puncture wounds, the skin can heal itself by scarring. There is no set period of time for how long a scar needs to heal. The kind of injury, its location on the body, its degree of seriousness, and any medical procedures the injured person has to undergo can affect his or her rate of healing.

If you are seriously disfigured or scarred because you were involved in an accident caused by another party’s negligence or carelessness anywhere in Pennsylvania, contact our law firm for your free consultation. Since 1979,the Philadelphia personal injury law firm of Reiff & Bily has helped thousands of serious accident victims recover monetary compensation and associated damages for their injuries.

Many serious injuries sustained in personal injury accidents can lead to scarring, including dog bites, burns and fires, medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, products liability, injuries sustained while at work, and injuries as a result of other painful mishaps. In addition to physical scars, an injured person may have to cope with mental and emotional trauma, including low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety.

Scarring can come from teeth, mouth, and jaw (TMJ) disorders burns, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) (chronic pain), dermabrasion (facial skin injuries that results in surgery), fibromyalgia (pain), thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) (nerve disorder), and road rashes caused by motorcycle accidents. Financial recovery for scars can be based on: (1) the length, width, and depth of the scar; (2) the visibility of the scar; and 3) the effect the scarring has had on a person’s behavior, personality, or outlook on life. Scar revision surgery can help repair the damage or appearance of the scar.

The negligent party that caused your injury accident should be held accountable for their actions and the pain and suffering that they have caused you. Reiff and Bily works on a contingent fee basis, charging a small percentage of your recovery. We do not get paid unless there is a successful recovery. We have successfully recovered in excess of $150 million dollars from our opponents for physical injuries and emotional damages suffered by our clients
