Broken Jaw Compensation
If you have suffered a jaw injury that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to make a broken jaw compensation claim. Tylers Solicitors’ experienced team is here to guide you through the process and help you secure the compensation you deserve.
What Are Some of the Most Common Jaw Injuries?
Some of the most common jaw injuries are a fractured jaw, a dislocated jaw and a broken jaw. Although this is not an exhaustive list, these are some of the most frequent cases we deal with when it comes to jaw injury claims.
A broken jaw compensation claim is usually broken down into two parts. The first part is compensation for your loss of amenity, pain and suffering, which can vary from person to person. The second part of the claim covers special damages such as loss of earnings, medical expenses, and other financial losses, which are usually easier to calculate if you have been keeping records.
A jaw injury is generally treated as a personal injury claim, but it can also fall within the scope of a dental injury claim if the damage involves your teeth, gums or roots. If your injury was caused by a criminal act of violence, such as ABH or GBH, you do not need to prove negligence, only that the incident occurred.
Can I Make a Broken Jaw Compensation Claim?
Yes, you can make a broken jaw compensation claim if the injury was sustained due to someone else’s negligence.
This could be an employer, local council, retailer, or another person, for instance. With any injury that was not your fault and one that could have been avoided, it is vital to claim the compensation you are entitled to. To begin your claim, get in touch with our personal injury solicitors today.

How Long Do I Have To Claim For a Jaw Injury?
As with any personal injury claim, you have three years from the date of your accident (or the injury occurring) to file your claim for compensation. If any more time lapses, your claim may be deemed invalid. Avoid disappointment and file your claim for compensation with Tylers Solicitors as soon as you can to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to.

How Will I Know If I'm Eligible To Claim Jaw Injury Compensation?
If your broken jaw is a result of dental negligence, which is considered a failure in a duty of care, you will be liable to claim compensation for your injuries in the eyes of the law. To establish whether a duty of care has been breached, your solicitor should follow a three-part test, which follows:
- The harm must be reasonably foreseeable
- There must be a degree of proximity between the defendant and the plaintiff
- It should be ‘fair, just and reasonable’ to impose a degree of liability.
