Dental and Facial Injuries in Car Accidents
A car accident can lead to major injuries and disfigurement of the face. Depending on the location and severity of the injury, a person may even suffer the loss of any or all of the senses. These injuries may be the fault of a negligent driver causing an accident or due to a mechanical defect or malfunction that interfered with a motorist’s ability to control his or her vehicle, or prevented a safety device from protecting a car’s occupants.
It is important that you are aware that you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation through a civil lawsuit if you have been the victim of an accident caused by a negligent driver or automaker.

Consequences of Facial and Dental Injuries
The failure of safety device like seatbelts and airbags often produces facial and dental injuries in the event of a collision. Normally, an airbag would prevent a driver’s face from colliding with the steering wheel or other fixtures in the vehicle. However, when it fails, there is nothing to shield the driver from dangerous impact. The following are some of the possible consequences of facial and dental injuries:
- Facial disfigurement
- Tooth loss or damage
- Tongue damage or severing
- Difficulty smelling properly
- Difficulty speaking
- Difficulty chewing
- Loss of taste
- Loss of visual clarity
These injuries often require substantial treatment, leaving a person with significant medical bills to pay. A successful civil lawsuit can help to gain financial compensation for these considerations.
