Dental injury cases for motorbike accidents

Dental injury cases are not uncommon when it comes to motorbike accident claims for compensation. In a significant collision, even with a helmet and protective equipment worn, substantial injuries can still be caused. As such, it is not uncommon for there to be damage to the oral area, and this is something that we can look at as part of a legal case.

If you were wearing a helmet, you should be eligible to recover full compensation for any dental injuries sustained if they arose from the accident. We can obtain a private report from a medical expert who can assess and outline the extent and severity of the damage caused, and then we can use official guidelines to apply to the compensation you could be entitled to receive.

As well as being able to recover compensation for the injury and suffering, you may also be entitled to recover compensation for losses and expenses. We will cover this in more detail below.

An important factor to consider is whether you were wearing helmet or not. Unfortunately, if you were not wearing a helmet and you sustained dental injuries, your compensation pay-out could be reduced to reflect any failure to wear protective equipment that you should have been wearing. Reductions of up to 25% for injuries sustained can be applied based on the principle of contributory negligence. Whilst we will always fight for the maximum compensation for you, this may be an unavoidable deduction in the event you were not wearing a helmet.

The cost of dental work recovered

Dental injury cases must often account for the potentially substantial costs of remedial work that may need carrying out. In the most severe cases, dental work can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds to correct the damage. Although this may not be ideal, and it can be painful to go through, you could be entitled to recover the costs of private surgery and private treatment as part of a claim.

In a claim for compensation, the Defendant has a duty to help you to recover as best as you possibly can. This is known as mitigating your losses. As such, if you need extensive private treatment or private surgery to try to put you back in the position you were in had the accident never have occurred, we may be able to include the cost of this as part of the case which can be more than reasonable. We may be able to recover the costs of private care before the final claim is settled in order to make sure that you can obtain treatment as and when you need it.
