What is fair compensation for permanent damages caused by ripped batches of skin from a eyebrow waxing?

I had my eyebrows waxed at a Beauty Salon of one of the larges retailers in the world over two months ago. They torn off large batches of skin on both eyelids. I had to first go to my Doctor who's was shocked! the very next day. I was running a high temperature and my eyelids were almost swollen shut. It was infected with a yellowish discharge. I have had to go to 4 different doctors as of today for the injuries. I can still feel a low grade burning sensation. I had to take 750 mg of vicodone for the pain when it was non-stop for a least a month. My Doctor also sent me out to be treated for severe depression and a sleep disorder because my eyelids are still damaged and they told me that it will be at-least another 7 months before I see any changes and there is some permanent damage that I have to just learn to live with. The insurance company (aig) wants to settle with me but I don't know what a fair settlement should be.What is fair compensation for permanent damages caused by ripped batches of skin from a eyebrow waxing?
Whatever you do do not take the first offer, because the first offer will be the lowest where the insurance company will be trying to see how cheap they can get out of it. You have a claim, and if they were responsible for your medical bills then this would cost them alot more, I wouldn't take less than 80thous, because you have been traumatized. The whole thing is awful, and its really hard to put a price on your well-being. However I wouldn't settle until you are done with going to the Dr's., as long as you are under Dr. care then you shouldn't settle because of long term affects like nerve damage, which could still happen. The insurance company doesn't want to know the long term affects, they are ready to sweep this under the rug, but make them wait until your ready, don't make it easier for them at your expense, the offer will only get higher. Your Dr, probably encouraged you to file a claim, because he knows you underwent treatment with an incompetent person.Good Luck with your recoveryWhat is fair compensation for permanent damages caused by ripped batches of skin from a eyebrow waxing?
The cost of medical bills and the amount of money missed because of lost wages. Any money that you would have had, had this event not taken place. No more, No less. Don't be frivolous just be honest.
It's impossible to answer without knowing *WHY* batches of your skin got ripped off. Did the salon make a mistake or did you just react badly even though they did everything right?
you are just after money, so i won't help you! i'm SURE you had severe depression because of your eyebrows!
a fair settlement would be the price for the medicine and doctor visits as well as some compensation for the sleep and pain such as a couple thousand dollars would be fair. at least 1000
dummy, don't get'em waxed anymore duh! u can't sue someone for your own stupidity.





PS: i wax my buttocks
If you went into the salon with all your skin intact and left damaged they are responsible for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and compensation for any permanent disfigurement or disability. You prior conditions should have no affect on this as they had nothing to do with this injury. Since you have no idea what the outcome will be i would not settle until that has been established. I would have no pity on the store or the people doing the waxing. It is their responsibility to notice if they are removing hair of parts of your face. I would think something in the 100,000 dollar range ( above your medical costs) would be fair to them. It may not really compensate you if there is permanent scarring or contracture of the eyelids. I have never sued anyone for an injury however were i injured as you have been i would have no mercy.
OMG I have heard of your skin coming off but I didnt think that actually happens when you go to a salon. That must hurt so bad. Definitely ask for compensation for all of the medical expenses. Then you have to figure if you want to ask for compensation for your ego if you are going to look funny for 7 months. Those people should go through training, especially at a chain salon. I would be so upset I'd work them for as much as I could.
Wow, that's a tough question, although there is a formula the jury would use if you went to civil trail. Maybe you should contact a lawyer and ask them what your case is worth. It maybe hard to find a lawyer that will answer your question without you giving him your business. I would try and settle first for an amount that you think is fair after doing your research because if a lawyer gets his greedy hands on it he will take up to 50% when you did all of the suffering.





How do the eyebrow waxing go so bad? I get mine waxed all the time and I have had some minor scabbing when I let someone do it at the beauty school, but I can't amagine how this could happen. Sorry you have to suffer.





Good Luck.
