Media, Pennsylvania, Dismemberment and Disfigurement Lawyers
Few injuries are more debilitating than the loss of a finger or limb, while even minor permanent scarring of the face and/or neck can have lasting psychological effects. Workers who have suffered an on-the-job injury resulting in dismemberment or disfigurement may be eligible for a workers' compensation claim and significant financial benefits.
If you are considering filing a dismemberment or disfigurement injury claim, have had your claim denied by your employer or have had your benefits terminated, Kenneth R. Schuster & Associates, P.C. can help.
Experienced and Skilled Dismemberment and Disfigurement Attorneys
We understand the true level of loss incurred from lost limbs and scarring, have handled numerous claims and can fight to secure maximum workers' compensation benefits.
Face and neck disfigurement includes scars and discoloration, and occurs most frequently from burns, lacerations, exposure to chemicals, falling objects, machinery. Loss of vision can also occur and cause additional challenges. Dismemberment damages are not restricted to full loss of limbs and digits; highly damaged body parts leading to severe or total loss of use can also qualify as dismemberment injuries.
We strive to demonstrate emotional and physical injury resulting from your dismemberment or disfigurement injury, and always pursue maximum compensation benefits or a lump-sum payment. We can handle your entire matter, including filing your initial claim, attending hearings, arranging medical treatment, investigating your accident, proving damages and arguing for compensation.
In one recent case, a tip of a high-pressure washer blew off, cutting our client's face. In another recent case, our client tripped and fell through the glass door of the nursing home she worked in, damaging a limb. In each case, we successfully won a substantial benefit award for our client.
