How much compensation can I get for loss of 5 – 10 teeth in Malaysia?

Under the Bar Council Malaysia Revised Compendium 2018, the typical general damages range is RM12,000 – RM21,500. The figure within this band depends on severity, complications (e.g. surgery, infection), permanent residual effects, and how much the injury impairs the claimant's occupation and lifestyle (loss of amenities). The Compendium is a non-binding judicial guideline — judges may award above or below where case law and facts justify.

No. Rawyer is a non-binding estimate based on the Bar Council Malaysia 2018 Compendium of Personal Injury Awards. Quantum is fact-sensitive and overlaps between injuries are common. For a specific claim, consult a Malaysian litigation lawyer.

Teeth

Loss of 5 – 10 teeth

Compensation range under the Bar Council Malaysia Revised Compendium 2018 (Circular 255/2018) — the operative judicial guideline for general damages in personal injury claims in Malaysia.

Typical range (general damages)

RM12,000 – RM21,500

Low: RM12,000; Relatively minor presentation, conservative treatment, no significant residual effects.
High: RM21,500; Surgery / complications and maximum loss of amenities (occupational and lifestyle impact).

What pushes toward the high: More teeth lost in this band, plus impact on diet/digestion, push toward high.

How Malaysian courts apply this range

The Low figure reflects a relatively minor presentation. The High already incorporates maximum loss of amenities — calculations should not push above the band-high.
Where the claimant has multiple injuries, courts adjust for overlap — the total is not a naive sum of each head.
Special damages (medical bills, loss of earnings, future care) are separate from the general damages range above.
