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!

The big question!

If only things were far more simple like they used to be when we were able to offer no win, no fee agreements and practically all of our clients would receive 100% of their compensation claim. But thanks to some insane law changes back in April 2013 things are way more complicated now.

You can say that, technically speaking, it would be very rare indeed for a lawyer not to charge you for a claim. When you make a claim for personal injury compensation on a no win, no fee agreement, it is usually the case that the legal fees incurred by your lawyer are your fees. They have to be your fees so we can recover them from the other side.

But since the government changes from April 2013 it is highly likely that you will incur a charge that you will need to pay for yourself. So how does it work and are there lawyers who don’t charge you for claims at all?

In minor cases the skin can be discoloured and painful but in severe cases the skin can be worn down to the point where the underlying muscle tissue or bone is exposed.

If you have sustained bedsores whilst under the care of the NHS or other healthcare workers and professionals, you could be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
