And a lawer would be a good Idea because the company she works for is very bad at paying sick pay and they will screw her over at the first opportunity. My best friend's girlfriend slipped on spilt oil and got bad burns on her right hand from the deep fat fryer when she fell and they screwd her over big time and says she should have checked the floor first and the accident was her fault. She is not recieving any sick pay and they have not returned her calls for a reason as to why she was not getting paid..The problem is most of these places are only a franchise and are very difficult to find out who actually owns them. So get a lawer or the very least ask for Advice.. Awards

Legal Aid is a group of lawyers who volunteer their time to do pro bono work (free). It may have a different name in your city, but lawyers do this sort of thing all the time. At the very least you will get some free legal advice. Awards

And make sure the employer pays all medical expenses. You should at least seek a legal opinion. Keep in mind in cases like this you pay the lawyer nothing, they work for a percentage of the compensation received. Probably north of 30% at least. Unless of course you poked her in the eye. eidolonFIRE 1

DEFINITELY SEEK LEGAL ADVICE. Accidents at work should be paid by the company. When I worked fast food safety was pushed very strongly for things like oil slips. They should be covering her on this!

Any injury to the hand or face resulting in scarring or disfigurement is subject to additional compensation simply because of the location of the injury. I also believe where on the face or hand can vary the compensation. I had a very small scar on my forehead that is not even noticeable now and was paid $300.00 for disfigurement many years ago. There is a time frame that has to pass before evaluating for compensation, I believe about 6 months. Hopefully there that does not apply here but it is a bit of compensation information that is worth mentioning.
