Facial Injury Compensation Claims

Facial injuries are a common occurrence in many automotive accidents, which can range from minor cuts and abrasions to much more serious injuries including broken noses, broken jaws and lost teeth.

In addition to the physical pain that is often associated with these injuries, many individuals often experience mental anguish that can last for a significant amount of time after their physical wounds have healed. In the event that an accident victim has been permanently scarred or disfigured, the effects can last a lifetime.

Types of Facial Injuries Sustained In Auto Accidents

Maxillofacial trauma, also referred to as facial trauma, is an injury that is commonly sustained in car accidents. In fact, did you know that over half of the people involved in vehicle crashes will suffer some type of facial injury?

With this in mind, facial injuries can be classified into four groups:

• Soft Tissue Facial Injuries- Lacerations, contusions and bruises are some of the most common soft tissue injuries. Often, soft tissue injuries will require stitches for treatment. Medical professionals need to be careful when attending to soft tissue injuries because the salivary glands, salivary ducts and facial nerves may have been injured too.
• Facial Bone Injuries- Fractured facial bones are treated similarly to bone fractures in other areas of the body. However, physicians cannot you use a cast on the face, so other procedures are used to stabilize the face.
• Dental injuries- It is not uncommon for passenger occupants to suffer isolated dental injuries in a crash. Accidents victims need to see a dentist immediately if they have suffered any type of dental injury.
• Joint Injuries- When the driver’s face slams into the steering wheel during a crash; they can sustain temporomandibular joint injuries, or TMJ. The force of the impact can cause the jaw bone to fracture or dislocate. Besides maybe a swollen eye, TMJ victims may not experience any physical changes. TMJ can cause complications such as a locked jaw, limited mobility of the jaw joint, an abnormal bite, headaches, clicking jaw and facial, back and neck pain.

If you have been injured in an automobile accident, our attorneys recommend getting medical attention immediately. In addition, all medical documents can be used in the court of law to formulate a case against a negligent individual that may have caused such injuries.
