Facial and Dental Injuries at Work

If jobsites are unsafe, a worker can sustain serious injuries to his or her face and mouth because of an accident in the workplace. These injuries can occur in practically any industry, as facial or oral injuries may occur due to a variety of causes. For instance, even office workers may sustain an injury to their face or mouth because of workplace problems such as slip and fall or falling objects.

If you have suffered a maxillofacial injury while at work, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. For more information regarding the compensation process and how we can help, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 1-888-389-COMP today.

Maxillofacial Injuries

Injuries to the face and mouth can have a substantial impact on a person’s life. In particular, these injuries can result in serious damage to a person’s sensory organs and ability to eat. As a result, a person may not be able to complete their workplace responsibilities until these injuries heal. Thus, an injured individual may require compensation for lost wages.

The following face and mouth injuries may occur because of an accident in the workplace:

  • Loss of sensory function of the eyes or nose
  • Blowout fractures of the eye sockets, which can lead to double-vision
  • Broken nose
  • Lost or chipped teeth
  • Jaw fractures
  • Severed tongue

These injuries may require emergency medical treatment and even surgery in order to heal. In some cases, the damage may be permanent.
