see a top local plastic surgeon in order to get evidence as to the full extent of their losses should they undergo such procedures in the future.

In addition, Doug Landau, of the Herndon Virginia law firm ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd., notes that unless there is expert medical opinion as to future medical care and time loss from work, many courts will not allow testimony as to these elements of damages.  Lawyer Landau adds, “Virginia trial judges have ruled that without a doctor’s testimony as to future scar revision, time loss from work, medications, etc., that this evidence does not get presented to the jury in a personal injury case, as it is “too speculative” and therefore not admissible.”  Curious about the options available ?  See tomorrow’s post.
