Today, while walking into my job I tripped, fell and completely broke my front teeth. now I'm sitting in the dentist office with a $9,000 estimate of getting new teeth. funny thing is this is with insurance. FML

Get some vacations in Europe or South America and get them fixed there. It's cheaper.

How is this not a full FML? But FYL op, not much else I can say. Sorry?

shouldn't you be compensated for accidents at work?

Accidents that happen on company property but when an employee is entering or leaving the premise- and thus, not actively "working" are under a really legally gray area. Businesses CAN count it as workers comp (my mother fell in a similar situation and was extorted into making it a worker comp case instead of a personal injury due to negligence case, as an example) but some won't. As far as I know, there aren't any hard rules about situations like this.

I'm not even surprised. Dental health is such an inflated industry, and the insurance companies are so stingy.

fly to India for $1100 and get a new tooth for $750, accommodation and food for about $200 a day.
