Scar Injury Claim Experts
SCAR INJURY
Have you been involved in an accident or incident which resulted in extensive or Permanent Scarring? If the accident occurred due to no fault of your own, you may be entitled to claim Permanent Scar Injury Compensation.
Scarring on the body can occur due to a number of reasons, such as being involved in a road traffic accident, lacerations resulting from a trip or fall, or suffering from a burn. Scars are caused by the body’s healing process. When your skin is damaged, it repairs itself by releasing collagen, which can build up over time, often becoming lumpy and raised. Scars often fade over time and may become barely noticeable, but they don’t typically disappear fully.
However, some scars are more extensive, and can be very noticeable and obvious, which can be very distressing, especially if the scarring occurs on an uncovered or highly visible part of the body such as the face, neck, legs, or arms. As well as causing mental and emotional distress, some scars can also cause physical, life-changing pain for the victim, which could lead to them having to change jobs or give up work altogether.
At PSR Solicitors our specialist team of personal injury lawyers have the knowledge and expertise to help you get the compensation you deserve after your Permanent Scarring Injury; please don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out more.

Permanent Scar Injuries can either be solely cosmetic or may also cause pain and discomfort for the victim. Either way, a permanent scar can have a lasting effect on your physical and mental wellbeing.
There are several different types of scars that can occur, and according to UK law a scar needs to be classified as one of the following types in order to make a compensation claim:
If you sustain an injury that leads to extensive scarring, it is vital that you have the injury assessed by a medical professional as soon as possible to ensure the best course of treatment to minimise the effects on your physical and mental wellbeing.
There are a wide variety of accidents that could potentially result in Permanent Scar Injuries, but some of the most common causes of permanent scars that lead to compensation claims include the following:
This list of injuries causing extensive scarring is by no means exhaustive; if you have sustained any injuries or scarring as a result of an accident that occurred due to no fault of your own, our specialist team of solicitors may be able to help you to claim compensation.
If you have been injured in an accident, it is often the case that your injuries will leave a scar as they heal, varying from minor to extensive scarring. The first thing we would advise you to do after an accident or incident is to have your injury looked at by a medical professional to ensure it is treated properly in order to heal effectively. Once you have had your injury treated and your health isn’t at risk, the next step is to start gathering any relevant evidence to support your compensation claim.
The type of evidence we advise you to collect includes:
It’s not always easy or straightforward to gather the right type and amount of evidence you need to support your permanent scarring compensation claim, but our team of experienced injury claim lawyers will provide you with the guidance and assistance you need in order to make a strong case for compensation.
The law states that personal injury claims must be made within three years from the date of the accident. There may be special mitigating circumstances where this timeframe can be extended, but we strongly advise our clients to start the claim process as early as possible after the incident in order to avoid your claim becoming statute barred.
Each personal injury claim for permanent scarring is different, and it is difficult to estimate how much compensation you will receive until we have gathered all of the necessary information and evidence. There are several areas that need to be taken into consideration when making a compensation claim, and your compensation award will be split to include general damages and special damages.
General damages typically refers to the amount of compensation you will be awarded for the physical and psychological effects of your injury, such as the type and severity of the injury, as well as the associated pain, suffering, distress, or anxiety caused by the incident, and the impact your injury may continue to have on your future.
Special damages refers to any additional financial losses incurred as a direct result of the incident, including the following:
It’s important to keep any receipts and invoices so that you have a good record of all the financial costs incurred, in order to prove the financial impact your permanent scar injury has had on you. Unfortunately, without the proof, the expenses will not be considered in your claim.
As you can see, there are many variables that must be taken into account when valuing your compensation claim, so it is impossible to predict the exact outcome until we have all of the necessary information and evidence. Each individual case will differ, but here at PSR Solicitors we will always strive to help you achieve the best possible outcome from your personal injury claim.
Our injury compensation calculator page might help you understand the range within which your settlement could fall, but it’s vital to seek advice from an experienced solicitor before making a claim.
Personal injury is an extremely specialist and complex area of the law so for the best chance of securing the maximum amount of compensation available, you will need to instruct qualified, legal professionals with the necessary expertise and experience to bring your claim to a successful conclusion.
Research suggests that fewer than 10% of people who contact a law firm for help are actually able to speak to a qualified solicitor and by employing teams of unqualified fee earners, many law firms are putting their clients’ compensation at risk.
At PSR solicitors, we have the skill and specialism necessary to negotiate with insurance companies, and are wholly aware of the tactics some of them employ to try and avoid paying out on a claim. We have the understanding and experience to know how to combat them decisively and effectively and frequently recover more personal injury claims than our rivals.
When you begin to seek legal counsel after an extensive scarring injury, one of your initial thoughts may be “how much will it cost me?”, which of course is a very valid point to consider. Nobody wants to be left out of pocket, especially after the financial costs and loss of earnings you have likely already incurred after your accident.
At PSR Solicitors we understand your concerns, which is why we offer our extensive scar injury claims service on a no win no fee basis. This means that if your compensation claim is unsuccessful, you will not owe us a penny; and if your claim is successful, our fees will be deducted from your compensation once the case is concluded.
If you are suffering from a scar injury as the result of an accident that wasn't your fault within the past three years please don’t hesitate to contact us today for help pursuing your compensation claim.
We will respond to your query within one hour of normal office hours, or the next working day if you contact us during the evening or at the weekend.

VIEW PROFILE
I've been a Solicitor at PSR Solicitors since March 2013 and am head of Personal Injury throughout the firm as well as having full responsibility for managing the Rhyl office.
I completed both my Law LLB and LPC degrees at Cardiff University, graduating in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff, then I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.
As an experienced personal injury and civil litigation Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex, serious injury claims.
Outside of work I'm a keen rugby fan, who enjoys running and travel.

Paul Rossiter LLB Law
Managing Director
I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 and since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales and Ibiza.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Solicitor - Head of Litigation
USUAL LOCATIONS: Shotton Office, Wrexham Office, Colwyn Bay Office, Wallasey Office
I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.
