Facial Scar
Description:
The case involved a six-year-old girl who was bitten on the cheek by her grandfathers black Labrador. She had a rather long curved scar on her cheek that required numerous stitches. The medical expenses were $1,800.00. A plastic surgeon examined her and indicated that after she was through adolescence there could be a revision done that reduces the visibility of the scar, but it would always be present and quite noticeable. The matter was settled for a payment of $275,000.00.
