Scarring and Disfigurement Claims in Arkansas

Permanent scarring and disfigurement cause harm that goes beyond the physical, affecting confidence, relationships, and quality of life.

More Than Skin Deep

Visible scars and disfigurement, especially on the face, carry emotional and social consequences alongside any physical limitation. The law recognizes these as compensable harms.

Their impact often grows over a lifetime.

Valuing the Harm

Compensation accounts for the cost of reconstructive or cosmetic procedures, the permanence and visibility of the scarring, and the emotional toll. Arkansas does not cap these compensatory damages.

Documenting the Impact

Photographs over time, medical opinions on permanence and treatment options, and testimony about the personal impact all support the claim. Thorough documentation ensures this lasting harm is fairly valued.
