Legal Question in Personal Injury in Connecticut

Re: chipped tooth

I agree with your premise that your are entitled to more than the cost of the actual repair. How your case is valued is impossible for me to evaluate in an email, but it is a measure of all that you mention and can document. It may ultimately be a few thousand more than the actual dental work, but not likley more unless there are on-going or permanent effects.

Likely you have been offered money from the "med-pay" portion of the ins policy that covers medical bills only and you should also insist on additional money from the "liability" part as well, or from the business directly if they are trying to deal with this on their own and not file an insurance claim.

Re: chipped tooth

I have had several of these cases that I brought to successful conclusion. I have always obtained much more than the cost of the cap repairs, as you have "permanent impairment" under the law, and this increases your settlement value. Having a few dentists in my family has allowed me the luxury of getting input as needed without the cost to the client. I would be happy to assist you. Please let me know.

Re: chipped tooth

As you mentioned that the offer was made by the casino, the problem that you may have is that your accident is not covered by Connecticut law (where you would be entitled to payment for pain and suffering as the other attorneys have suggested in their replies) but by Indian law. Under the tort law that the Mashantuckets and Mohegans have adopted, there is no payment for pain and suffering, but only for lost wages and medical bills.
