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.

You can ask the restaurants insurance to tender their med pay to you or your dentist. Because a seed is something that is not out of the ordinary in a salad, you really have no negligence claim. If it was a stone or glass, then you would have a claim. I believe you are only entitled to the med pay which should be paid regardless of fault of the restaurant.
