Wondering whether or not workers compensation benefits will cover noticeable, painful scarring after a workplace injury?
Laws vary from state to state, but here’s what you need to know about rules regarding scars and disfigurement.
Yes, workers compensation laws provide benefits for those with scarring or permanent disfigurement due to a workplace injury.
Different states have different laws regarding scarring, and a victim’s eligibility for workers comp benefits.
For example, in some other states an injured worker might receive a one-time payment for scars.
Nearly any accident can cause scarring, but some of the most common are:
In terms of workers comp benefits, the value of your scar injury will vary based on its location and severity. Contact a workers compensation attorney to ensure you receive full compensation for your injury.
Scar location can also matter. For example, most states will allow you to receive workers comp benefits for scars located on the head, face, or neck.
Some states allow workers to seek benefits for scars on the legs, arms, and other body parts that would normally be exposed in certain situations.
With that said, some states will only give workers comp benefits for limb scars if the scars result in limited or lost function, or if the scars limit the worker’s ability to find employment.
