Can I get my dental expenses covered after a personal injury?

My tooth was taken off from an accident at a restaurant. The rest of my teeth was extracted and replaced with a partial. How can I get help to pay for the replacement teeth? It happened when I bit into a salad and broke the tooth on a seed.

You will need to make a claim with the restaurant and they should turn it over to their risk management company or their insurance company. It will have to be proven that there was some negligence on the part of the restaurant before it will pay for your damages.

I don't think that the restaurant is liable.

It's possible the restaurant may have medical payments coverage that would help. Talk to them. Doesn't sound like the restaurant did anything wrong so otherwise, you'll have to pay out of your own pocket or submit to your own insurance.

You would have to prove that the seed was something that did not belong in the salad.
