Facial Injury Settlements: Real Case Outcomes & Data

One driver hit another vehicle from behind. A passenger in the struck vehicle claimed injury to her jaw. The passenger's dentist stated she would have permanent pain and difficulty eating. The defense argued the condition was pre-existing or caused by teeth clenching, and that surgery was not necessary.

A pedestrian was walking at an intersection when he was struck by an unidentified driver who fled the scene. The pedestrian claimed injuries including an eye socket fracture, soft tissue injuries, and broken teeth. The defendant argued that the pedestrian did not suffer the claimed injuries. The jury awarded damages, which were then reduced to the fund limit.
