[Temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome after whiplash injury. Medico-legal problems in common law].
In four cases, the authors analyse the medical and legal factors which lead the expert to his conclusions in french law, concerning temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction after whiplash injury indemnification. An uncertain direct link between the injury and the damage together with the patient's dental prior state to the accident, lead to retain an incomplete legal imputability. The compensation awarded to the victim will consist of an overvalued extra-patrimonial damage which will eventually be able to balance a low physiological deficit price.
