QUESTION
Can I sue if I was attacked by a drunken bar patron resulting in a broken tooth down to the nerve and a chipped tooth?

More details to this question:
Police report was made. I've not pressed charges yet. From my understanding, I have 14 days to press charges or it will be closed. The broken tooth is extremely painful since it has exposed nerves and the chipped tooth is sensitive as well. I scheduled an appointment with my dentist for next week. I want to sue for pain and suffering and medical bills but I have no idea where to start with this.

It is certainly worth a consultation. You would have a claim against the patron. Whether it is worth pursuing depends on the patron, whether anything would be collectible. What is more important is a possible claim against the establishment. There should be coverage for the bar that would cover your claims.
