When suffering with discomfort or tooth pain it can feel like the worst thing in the entire world! That’s one heck of a dramatic statement, I know; but you cannot easily apply pressure to a tooth, or easily rub any ointment or gel on a tooth, and quite often your only option is pain killers.
But pain killers are not perfect and even rubbing a bit of whisky on the area doesn’t always give you the much needed relief you desire. All in all tooth discomfort can be a real nightmare and when it’s caused from dental negligence then you can certainly make a claim for your suffering!
Whether it’s bad dental work that has resulted in you suffering or whether it’s something else, you are entitled to claim for personal injury compensation if you have suffered tooth pain or tooth discomfort as a result of negligence. We can obtain specialist reports to prove the extent and severity of your pain and use these to value the worth of your case.
You are entitled to claim for the pain and inconvenience caused (which I know can be very bad indeed) which are referred to as General Damages, and also any knock on losses or expenses as well. The pain can be bad enough to warrant time off of work which can be claimed back from the other side.
You can normally get an award of a few thousand pounds depending on how long and how bad the tooth pain or discomfort has been. In the most serious cases where tooth problems last a number of years, you can claim tens of thousands of pounds for the general damages alone.
If the problems cause any further damage or loss of teeth then this can of course be included as well. This can be common where problems are left undiagnosed or untreated.
If you have suffered tooth pain or discomfort brought about by dental negligence then contact The Injury Lawyers today and we can put our years of experience to practice and let you know if you have a claim for compensation to make!
