Damage to Teeth

Losing or breaking your teeth in an accident is all too easy, which is why damage to teeth claims are so frequent. No matter whether your teeth were damaged in a road traffic accident or in a slip, trip and fall; if it was someone else's fault then you could be eligible to claim personal injury compensation.

Perhaps you damaged some front teeth in an illegal tackle in rugby; even though the injury was minor, if it was your opponent's fault and it caused you cosmetic damage, any sort of pain or required treatment in any way then you could claim compensation for the sports injury. Or maybe you suffered an accident at work that caused you to lose many of your teeth when you fell or were hit with apparatus, etc. If your employer was negligent in its duty of care, then you could claim compensation which could help cover the extensive dental work needed. Traumatic accidents where a number of teeth are lost can also injure the jaw and palate, factors that will also be taken into account when calculating the levels of compensation to be awarded.

Even minor damage to teeth can require ongoing dental work, either to protect the health of the teeth, to replace lost teeth or to cosmetically improve the smile. All of this costs money which should be rightfully covered by the person or persons responsible for the accident. Similarly, damage to the teeth and/or gums can cause severe pain, even if it was just one tooth damaged, and any cosmetic damage to your appearance can cause great distress. Claim-Easy works hard on your behalf to ensure that all such issues are taken into consideration in awarding the best possible compensation levels for your personal injury claim for damaged teeth.
