Teeth Injury Claims

The teeth are usually injured due to a trip, fall or a slip caused by sports, physical attack or road accident. A teeth injury may result in losing or even breaking teeth which can be painful as well as traumatic for the injured person. In serious teeth injuries the jaw may also get fractured and damaged. If you have ever suffered a tooth injury in which you had no fault, you can then claim for compensation against the party whose negligence caused the accident. However the compensation amount depends entirely on the level of seriousness of the injury. The teeth injury claims and the laws for the teeth injury also depends on the reason which caused the injury. Let us discuss each one of them in detail-

CRIMINAL INJURY- If you were involved in a violent criminal assault due to which you suffered teeth injury, and then the compensation claim will be made to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. In order to make the claim you will first need to register a written complaint with the police department and the claim should be made within a period of two years. The authority will in return pay you with a fixed amount to pay for the dental expenses.

SPORTS INJURY- Many people suffer from teeth injury while playing a particular sport, it can be accidental, deliberate as well as caused due to the negligence or carelessness of the sports authority. It is a known fact that most of the sports venues have an insurance cover, so if any such mishap happens in which you had no role, you can claim for the compensation against the sports authority.

ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT- Most people suffer from damaged teeth injuries caused by a road traffic accident. If your teeth or jaw got broken due to a vehicle accident, you are then entitled to make a compensation claim against the driver or his company which employed him.
