The face is the feature the world sees first — and an injury to it carries a weight that reaches well past the physical. Shattered 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. The medical care alone — emergency stabilization, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, dental implants, scar revision, follow-up surgeries spread over years — can run into staggering amounts of dollars. But facial injuries also bring an emotional toll insurance companies avoid discussing: the dread of facing the mirror, the self-consciousness 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 retain oral surgeons, plastic surgeons, dental specialists, ophthalmologists, and mental health professionals to verify both the structural damage and the long-term emotional impact your injury has created.
Insurance carriers tend to wrap up facial injury claims early — before reconstructive surgery is complete, before scar revision has been tried, and before the true extent of permanent disfigurement is known. We won’t let them. When you come into the McKay Law family, we don’t accept to let your case settle before the full picture of your recovery is in view. We pursue full 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, loss of livelihood for victims whose careers depend on their appearance, and the deep pain, embarrassment, and emotional suffering that attend a outward, permanent injury.
