Can I get compensation for the burn injury of beautyshop?
Question:
I went to get Hotstone body massage and massu dropped the just heated very hot stone over my leg and burnt my leg. It is exactly middle of my calf of the leg and the injury is the half size of girl's palm. I went to the hospital and it will take some time to get fully recovered.
Due to injury, I had to have medical leave for 2 days and cannot go to the trip of this weekend, already paid and cannot cancel. it might leave the scar but it's more likely that the injury part's skin color will get dark. So, I feel really bad as a woman because you can see it if i wear skirt or short pants.
I want to get compensation incl my expense on medical treatment, on the trip,on work and mental loss. Is it possible to get all the compensation? And how much is porper to ask for? my collegues said at least 2000SGD, but I don't know
Please help me with it.
Answers:
Yes you can get compensation for the injury, especially if it wasn't your fault. If you decide to pursue it make sure you take all your medical records the lawyer. A lawyer is the only one who can really tell you how much to ask for. Good Luck
So long as everything is documented, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get compensation for the injury caused by the spa/salon. Contact a personal injury lawyer - they usually work free until you get some sort of compensation to see how sever you case is. I know in most states you can, on your own, take the salon to small claims court if the damages are either under $3000 or $5000 (depending on your state).
Make sure you have pictures of yourself before and after, the hospital records, record of your missed days, and your missed trip. Something should come out of this. Even find out how much it would cost to have the scar surgicallyy reduced or removed.
I hope you feel better, and good luck with your course of action
