What Are Some of the Most Common Jaw Injuries?
Some of the most common jaw injuries are a fractured jaw, a dislocated jaw, a broken jaw and jaw cancer.

A broken jaw compensation claim is 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 the claim is a loss of earnings and medical expenses, which are usually much easier to calculate if you have been keeping on top of your earnings.
A jaw injury falls under a ‘dental claim’ in UK tort law. A dental claim is a compensation for damage or injury to your gums, teeth, roots or your jaw as a result of either an accident or negligence. If your injury was due to a criminal injury, such as ABH or GBH, you do not need to prove negligence, only that an act of violence occurred.
Can I Make a Claim For a Jaw Injury?
You can make a claim for a jaw injury 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.
