Tooth pain can be extremely uncomfortable particularly if nerve trouble is causing you pain.
Tooth damage often requires a programme of treatment to correct the issue. Unfortunately, the cost of dental care can be very high. A dental claim might also coincide with other personal injuries such as a fractured jaw.

Like other personal injury claims, the compensation amount you are entitled to will depend on the extent of your injury and the effect it has on your life. Certain teeth also warrant higher amounts of compensation. For instance, if one of your front teeth has been damaged, you will receive more compensation than you would for your back teeth. If you have found it difficult to eat because of your condition, your potential compensation is likely to be higher.

HOW DOES THE CLAIMS PROCESS WORK?
At Jefferies Solicitors, once we have carried out an initial consultation, we will take care of the paperwork required to get your case underway.
A letter will be sent to you following an initial consultation with your solicitor. This will be a summary of the discussion you had and will confirm that they are happy to take on your case. It will highlight who will be your contact and estimate how long the process will take. The letter will also detail how you will be funding the case and an estimate of costs. If you need to provide any further information this will also be included.
A letter will then be sent to the defendant, providing details of the accident. The defendant has a fixed period in which they can reply and in their reply, they must state whether or not they are denying or accepting liability for your injuries. If they do accept liability, your solicitor will endeavour to settle the case out of court.
