Workers' Comp Payment For Scars Settlements

An injured worker may also be compensated for a scar they received to their head, face or neck as a result of an at-work injury. You can collect for the scar even if you never missed one day of work. An injured worker has three (3) years from the date of the injury to file a claim petition in most states - including filing for compensation for a scar. If the claim was acknowledged within the 3-year time period, you can still go back to collect the scar benefit.

While there is no set rule for how much a scar is "worth", the general rule of thumb is for every one inch of scar, an injured worker can collect 10-15 weeks of workers' compensation benefits.
