Beauty Treatment Claims - Can I sue a beauty therapist?

After suffering injury because of a beauty treatment, you may be considering the question ‘Can I sue a beauty therapist?’ The answer is yes, providing it can be proven they were at fault for the injuries caused.

Placing your trust in the therapist to deliver the treatment you requested, in a way that is safe and avoids harm, is a given. But what happens when it goes wrong? What should you do if you’re injured because of the treatment?

You could make a claim for beauty treatment compensation and get the help you deserve to recover from injuries that weren’t your fault.

Beauty treatment compensation

This is a form of personal injury compensation that a person may be eligible to receive if they’ve suffered an injury due to the negligence of a beauty therapist or a botched treatment.

Beauty treatment claims centre on proving liability and being able to evidence that the actions of the therapist caused the injuries sustained.

What types of injuries can I claim for?

A beauty treatment can involve a range of different tools and chemicals to achieve the required outcome. It could be a chemical peel to reduce wrinkles, waxing to remove unwanted hairs, or botox injections. Treatments should be done with diligence and absolute attention to avoid injuries.

These could include burns, scarring and/or disfigurement caused by chemicals reacting with the skin, an adverse reaction to cosmetic injections, or burns blisters, or cuts caused by waxing. This is far from a complete list if you consider how many different types of treatments there are and the potential issues associated with them.

How much is a beauty treatment claim worth?

There isn’t a definitive answer to this question as it depends on a range of factors. The extent of the injuries will alter the value of the claim and the money you may receive in beauty treatment compensation.

The impact of those injuries on your life and future will also impact the worth; does your home require alterations to support a potential future permanently altered by the injuries? Do you need future ongoing treatment from specialists?

All of these factors will affect how much your claim is worth.

What information do I need to make a claim?

When making a claim, the process is more efficient and takes less time when as much evidence as possible is already gathered.

Information that would prove helpful in the early stages of a claim includes the details of the accident – where, when, how – as part of a comprehensive report on the circumstances from your perspective.

Pictures of your injuries and medical reports that you may have obtained from treatment could further support your claim.

Is there any CCTV footage available? Do you have any witnesses whose details you could collect so our team can get in touch with them?

Gathering as much evidence from the beginning will only enhance the chances of your claim being completed successfully.
