Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Owner will probably not give you much, probably not anything. Why? - because he doesnt have to. If you get a lawyer, and are ready to file a lawsuit, only then will he be inclined to pay anything. Let me know if you want my help.

The owner might give you a little to avoid having to report it to his insurance company an see his premiums go up, but it would likely be less than $1,000. While a facial scar is worth something, if you are a male at an age were smooth skin is no longer the norm, it is not worth much. A pretty young woman, a child, a very vain woman she really feels very upset by the scar would be able to collect more, but it is also going to depend on how visible it is, will it fade, are there wrinkles near it, etc. Years ago, most attorneys would not handle a case unless it is worth $15,000 or more since they look at $5,000 being the minimum needed to cover expenses and hoped for profit. An attorney who runs a mill--many clients who are handled by his para-legals and he/she only goes to court apperances--would handle the case. The insurance carrier also realizes that the case will never go to trial so they will offer less since they look at what their total costs are and not just what the plaintiff seeks.
