Scarring & Disfigurement from an Accident in Colorado — Settlement Value & Legal Options

Scar treatment may include wound care, silicone sheeting, laser therapy, steroid injections, and surgical scar revision. Multiple treatments over months or years may be necessary. Psychological counseling for body image issues is also common.

Severity	Estimated Settlement Range
Low Severity	$10,000 - $30,000
Medium Severity	$40,000 - $150,000
High Severity / Catastrophic	$150,000 - $1,000,000+

Note: These ranges are general estimates based on Colorado verdict and settlement data. Actual case values vary based on specific facts.

Scarring cases are valued based on location (face, hands, and visible areas are worth more), size, severity, and impact on the victim's appearance and psychological wellbeing. Age and gender can also affect valuation, with younger victims and visible scarring receiving higher settlements.

Under Colorado law, both economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and noneconomic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress) are recoverable. Noneconomic damages are capped at approximately $642,180 but can be increased to approximately $1 million with clear and convincing evidence. The severity and permanence of your scarring & disfigurement directly affects your total case value.
