TMJ

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint syndrome, a serious and painful medical problem that is often related to injury to the jaw sustained in a car accident, an assault, or some other type of accident or violent act.

Jaw injuries and disorders like TMJ are serious. Not only can they cause chronic debilitating pain, but they can also interfere with the sufferer's ability to perform basic tasks like speaking, eating, chewing, swallowing and even breathing or making simple facial expressions. TMJ has also been linked with migraines.

Unfortunately, many insurance companies have tried to limit the cost of covering TMJ. Some policies exclude TMJ coverage altogether. There are several reasons for this, not the least of which is the uncertainty surrounding the causes and proper treatment of the disorder.

A further complication comes from the fact that some insurance policies consider TMJ to be a medical condition, while others place it in the dental category. We can help if you are seeking compensation for your medical bills and pain and suffering through a personal injury lawsuit, or if you need the help of an experienced and knowledgeable Connecticut attorney in an insurance coverage dispute regarding TMJ.
