1. Road Traffic Accidents

Vehicle collisions involving cars, motorcycles, or bicycles.
Injuries from airbag deployment, shattered glass, or dashboard impact.

2. Workplace Accidents

Exposure to hazardous chemicals, machinery, or flying debris.
Lack of protective gear, such as face shields or safety goggles.

3. Slips, Trips, and Falls

Poorly maintained walkways, uneven surfaces, or slippery floors in public or private spaces.

4. Physical Assaults

Injuries sustained due to violent attacks or criminal incidents.

5. Medical Negligence

Surgical errors affecting the face or jaw.
Botched cosmetic or dental procedures leading to disfigurement.

If your injury was caused by negligence, you may have a valid claim. Our experienced solicitors at Integrity Law will guide you through the legal process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Types of Face Injuries

Facial injuries can range from minor cuts to severe disfigurement, often requiring extensive medical treatment. Common types include:

Fractures – Breaks in the nose, cheekbones, or jaw that may require surgery.
Lacerations & Scarring – Deep cuts that can leave permanent scars.
Burns – Chemical, electrical, or thermal burns causing skin damage and disfigurement.
Eye Injuries – Damage that can impair vision or lead to blindness.
Dental Trauma – Broken, lost, or damaged teeth, often requiring reconstructive treatment.

Regardless of the severity, a facial injury can have life-changing consequences, making it crucial to seek legal and financial support.

Legal Basis for Face Injury Claims

Under UK law, if your facial injury resulted from someone else’s negligence, you have the right to seek compensation. To build a strong case, you must prove:

Duty of Care – The responsible party had a legal obligation to ensure your safety.
Breach of Duty – They failed in their responsibility, leading to unsafe conditions.
Causation – Their negligence directly caused your injury.
Damages – You suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm.

Who Owes a Duty of Care?

• Employers must ensure a safe workplace.
• Drivers must follow traffic laws and drive responsibly.
• Business Owners must maintain hazard-free public spaces.

If these duties were not upheld, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

What Compensation Can Cover

The amount of compensation depends on the severity of your injury and its long-term effects. A face injury claim typically includes:

General Damages

Compensation for pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.
Psychological impact due to scarring or disfigurement.

Special Damages

Medical expenses, including reconstructive surgery and scar treatments.
Loss of earnings if you’ve been unable to work due to your injury.
Future loss of income if your ability to work has been permanently affected.
Travel expenses for medical appointments and therapy.
Specialist consultations for cosmetic revision or psychological support.

At Integrity Law, we work diligently to maximize your compensation, ensuring you receive the financial assistance needed for a smoother recovery.

Time Limits for Filing a Face Injury Claim

The law sets strict deadlines for personal injury claims:

• Three years from the date of the accident.
• For minors, the three-year limit starts on their 18th birthday.
• Exceptions apply for individuals who lack mental capacity.

Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to compensation, so act quickly to protect your claim.
