How do facial injuries arise?
Some injuries are caused in road traffic accidents, particularly those involving a significant crash where the airbags inflate or where seatbelts are not worn. Serious facial scarring used to be seen very frequently in road accidents, but thankfully legislation to enforce the wearing of seat belts has meant a decrease in these sorts of injuries but they are still common where seatbelts have not been worn. Facial injuries can also be caused in slipping or tripping accidents at work or in public places or in falls from height. They are also commonly caused in sporting accidents and regrettably in assaults.
