PA-info regarding scar on face

[Timmyj07]

I fell off a ladder at work back around January. The accident left a scar above my right eyebrow roughly an inch long. Am I entitled to any compensation for this scar? I reported the accident to the company and received 8 stitches that day. Any help and information would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

This happened in Pennsylvania and I work through the county but funded through the state and federal government

maybe. Pennsylvania does provide disfigurement benefits for conditions that are serious and permanent about the head, face, and neck.
contact Labor and Industry for more help.

you may also be entitled to corrective surgery by a plastic surgeon.

Sorry, I went away for the weekend. The answer is yes you may be entitled to compensation for a facial scar. Unfortunately there is no neat little formula and it basically comes down to what the judge thinks it is worth. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss the matter in greater detail.
