Dermatitis (£1,300 ~ £14,600)
You could be awarded between £1,300 and £14,600 as compensation for suffering dermatitis caused by a product or accident.
Dermatitis is an eczema reaction on the skin following contact with certain substances. This reaction is identified by the skin becoming red, spotty, inflamed, blistered and/or dry. The two main causes of dermatitis are irritants and allergens. Irritants will cause direct damage to the outer layer of your skin. Allergens are substances that cause a skin reaction from your immune system. Examples of substances that can cause dermatitis include soaps, detergents, shampoo, hair dye, acids, alkalis, cement, chlorinated water, disinfectants, oils and more.
Lacerations and scarring (£1,800 ~ £17,200)
You could be awarded between £1,800 and £17,200 as compensation for suffering a laceration scar in an accident.
A scar is the mark left behind on the skin after your wound or cut injury has healed. It is a cosmetic defect on the body that can cause psychological issues to develop. A noticeable disfiguring scar can cause people to have anxiety issues; it can lower self-esteem and even have a profound negative effect on certain careers such as modelling or working in public. Scars can be formed from deep cuts during the accident or during surgery when lacerations need to be made by the surgeon.

Burns, scalds and scarring (£1,300 ~ £79,700)
You could be awarded between £1,300 and £79,700 as compensation for suffering scars from burns and scalds in an accident.
There are many types of burns including heat burns, cold burns, electrical burns, chemical burns, radiation burns, friction burns and scalding. All types of burns are incredibly painful and can cause disfiguring scarring and cosmetic deformity. Your skin injury compensation is determined by the amount of treatment required; the extent of the scarring; your age; the effect that your scarring has on your social, domestic and work life; and whether anxiety or other psychological disorders has developed from the burn accident.
