Disfigurement
Permanent scarring, loss of a limb, a visible permanent injury, or anything that impairs the beauty, symmetry, or appearance of a person is termed disfigurement, and a Texas jury may award a separate dollar value for this aspect of physical injury at trial.
Evidence of disfigurement can be presented to a jury by comparing prior photographs showing the condition of the injured person before the incident complained of.
A complainant may recover for past disfigurement, and for future disfigurement that in all reasonable probability will be suffered.
