DO NOT SETTLE.

I am no lawyer - but I WOULD NOT settle.

Get yourself a lawyer first. The insurance company should pay EVERY time that you have to have your tooth replaced (every 10 years).

Was the accident the fault of someone else, or was is a result of something you did?

This could play a part too.

I would definatly NOT sign off on anything. As soon as you sign off, your insurance company will not cover ANYTHING relating to your injury(s) from the accident, and you will be stuck footing the bill.
