TMJ Damage as a result of a road traffic accident – £50,000 in compensation

At What’s My Claim Worth, we have settled numerous cases involving clients who have injured their jaw as a result of a road traffic accident.

One such case involved a client who was in a road traffic accident between a car and the bus that she was travelling on. Our client received multiple injuries in the accident, including damage to her temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Following the accident, our client was in severe pain, could hear a clicking sound coming from the joint, and found it difficult to chew food, meaning that she was restricted to eating soft foods.

We referred our client to a Maxillofacial Surgeon, who concluded that she had Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. Unfortunately, despite physiotherapy, our client’s symptoms are now likely to be permanent.

As a result of the injuries incurred by our client in the accident, we were able to successfully settle her claim for the sum of £50,000.
