WHAT DO TO NEXT

If you believe you have fractured your jaw you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

A doctor will diagnose your broken jaw through a physical examination and x-rays.

In terms of treatment, this will depend on the severity of your injury. You may require surgery, or have to have your jaw wired together. In serious instances, you may need plates placed across the fracture site.

You may also require antibiotics to treat any associated wounds.

If your jaw has been broken because you are the victim of violent crime, we can help you to apply for Criminal Injuries Compensation.

In order to claim for this compensation you must bring a claim within 2 years of the crime, and the crime must have been reported to the police.

WHat can i claim?

In a personal injury claim there are two categories of losses you can claim:
GENERAL DAMAGES
Compensation for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity is known as ‘general damages’. This compensates you for the direct effects of the accident. The amount you receive depends on the type of injury, the severity of the injury, and how long you suffered with symptoms. 
SPECIAL DAMAGES 
Compensation for out of pocket expenses i.e. financial losses is known as ‘special damages’. This compensates you for financial losses including loss of earnings, overtime, bonus, care and assistance you required from family/friends, medical expenses such as medication and treatment and any other financial loss incurred as a result of the accident.
