Legal Question in Personal Injury in Alabama

Fried hair and burnt scalp

I went to a salon salon to straighten my hair but all my hair was fried badly and my scalp still hurt badly now. I've went to several salons and a trichologist and they said my scalp and hair was badly damaged and would require more than 10 sessions of hair treatment for my hair to stop breaking.

I would like to know if I should proceed on the matter or let the matter rest?Will I get a compensation or will they push all the blame to me?

I am still a student and have not been to school for past one week due to low confidence and my hair has slowly been falling in patches. My scalp is very painful. I have also informed the hairdresser about my hair damage and she said I was blackmailing her. I did not call her at all,but just texted her whether she will compensate me and she said she used to work in a law firm. Does working in a law firm give her the advantage if I decide to settle in court?

I am very worried about my scalp and my trichologist have told me my hair would slowly turn bald as the chemicals from the relaxer was applied too near my scalp.

Thanks

Re: Fried hair and burnt scalp

Working in a law firm doesn't change the facts. You need to SEE A MEDICAL DOCTOR. If you have damage to your scalp you will need to prove it in Court. Your personal health and appearance should be followed by a medical professional. You can also use the medical records and testimony of your doctor in Court.

The other question is whether the hair dresser and salon have any insurance that will cover your damages.

Start with the doctor.
