Types of facial trauma jaw fractures, nasal fractures, orbital fractures, dental trauma, soft tissue injuries, and disfiguring scars. Facial injuries are unique because the psychological impact often equals or exceeds the physical harm—with consequences that extend far beyond the physical injury. Common causes of facial injuries include vehicle crashes, falls, dog bites, and any sudden impact to the face.

Few injury categories combine physical, emotional, and identity damage like facial injuries. The face is the most visible part of a person, the primary medium of human connection. Injuries that affect the face affects far more than physical function. An attorney familiar with these complex cases knows how to properly value the full scope of harm facial injuries cause.
The face contains a remarkable concentration of essential structures.
The face packs into a small area:
Facial healing has specific characteristics. Facial blood supply aids recovery though it can create distinctive scarring.
Facial scarring is permanently visible. This visibility creates lifelong consequences.
The face is connected to identity in ways other body parts aren’t. Facial injuries change how victims perceive themselves.
Facial bone fractures.
Eye socket fractures. Affect eye position and vision.
Broken nose are extremely common. Affect breathing and appearance.
Cheek fractures can cause facial asymmetry.
Fractures of the upper jaw. Le Fort fractures are particularly serious.
Broken jaw create lasting functional issues.
Forehead fractures can be associated with serious head injury.
Open wounds account for many facial injury cases. Even small lacerations create lasting marks.
Eye trauma can produce partial or total blindness. Eye penetration may result in enucleation.
Lost teeth, broken or chipped teeth, and damage to the gums, lips, or oral structures happen alongside facial trauma.
Cranial nerve injuries can cause altered facial function. Permanent facial paralysis is among the most devastating facial injuries.
Facial burns are particularly devastating.
While considered separately, cranial fractures frequently coincide.
Facial trauma often involves traumatic brain injury, because facial impacts affect the brain.

The face is the part of us the world sees first — and an injury to it carries a burden that stretches far beyond the physical. Fractured cheekbones, jaw fractures, nasal fractures, orbital injuries, lost teeth, deep lacerations, burn scars, and disfiguring trauma emerge from car wrecks, dog attacks, falls, assaults, workplace accidents, sports incidents, and acts of negligence on someone else’s property. Medical care by itself — emergency stabilization, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, dental implants, scar revision, additional procedures spread over years — can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. But facial injuries also carry an emotional toll insurance companies prefer to ignore: the discomfort of facing the mirror, the discomfort in social settings, the professional consequences in roles that require face-to-face interaction, and the loss of an identity victims spent a lifetime building. At McKay Law, we consult oral surgeons, plastic surgeons, dental specialists, ophthalmologists, and mental health professionals to establish both the visible injury and the long-term emotional impact your injury has imposed.
Insurance carriers tend to close out facial injury claims early — before reconstructive surgery is finished, before scar revision has been undertaken, and before the complete extent of permanent disfigurement is established. We won’t let them. When you become part of the McKay Law family, we reject the idea to let your case settle before the full picture of your recovery is in view. We demand maximum compensation for emergency care, multiple surgeries, dental and orthodontic reconstruction, plastic and reconstructive procedures, scar revision, vision-related treatment, prescription costs, future medical care, counseling for the psychological impact of disfigurement, time away from work, diminished earning ability for victims whose careers rely on their appearance, and the deep pain, embarrassment, and emotional suffering that accompany a visible, permanent injury.
