The face is the side of us the world sees first — and an injury to it comes with a weight that stretches far beyond 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. Just the medical treatment — emergency stabilization, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, dental implants, scar revision, follow-up surgeries spread over years — can run into enormous sums of dollars. But facial injuries also come with an emotional toll insurance companies prefer to ignore: the fear of facing the mirror, the self-consciousness in social settings, the impact on your livelihood in roles that require face-to-face interaction, and the loss of an identity victims spent a lifetime building. At McKay Law, we partner with 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 produced.
Insurance carriers often try to resolve facial injury claims early — before reconstructive surgery is complete, before scar revision has been pursued, and before the full extent of permanent disfigurement is apparent. We push back when they try. When you join the McKay Law family, we refuse to let your case settle before the complete picture of your recovery is in view. We pursue 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, loss of livelihood for victims whose careers rely on their appearance, and the profound pain, embarrassment, and emotional suffering that accompany a apparent, permanent injury.
