Workplace Disfiguration Injuries

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the definition of disfigurement is ‘the action of spoiling the appearance of something or someone; defacement: something that spoils the appearance of someone or something; a blemish: a severe facial disfigurement.”

When we are the victim of a serious workplace accident, the injuries can often result in permanent scarring, amputation and in extreme cases, even death. Disfiguration has been known to not only affect our relationships, but also many other aspects of our daily lives.

As you might expect, this can not only challenge our ability to work and function as we once did, but it also can present deep psychological scars that can take years to handle. At the Citrin Law Firm we understand and recognize the importance that our appearance has on our personality and even self-identity.
