What happened

Start with the thing that actually happened to you

What caused it determines who's liable and which legal rules apply. The injury itself determines the value.

Most states make owners strictly liable. Children are bitten on the face most often.

Never settle before the scar matures. That single decision moves the number most.

These carry functional consequences — vision, bite, sensation — beyond appearance.

Disfigurement plus function plus years of treatment. Among the highest-value injuries.
