Composite Veneer Just Fell Off. Why?

whitnye
One week ago today I had 4 composite veneers placed on my upper front teeth, to hide some staining. This morning while brushing my teeth I heard a ping as I went to rinse my mouth and looked down to see one of them falling down the drain. What could have caused this? I've made it a point to avoid biting into anything harder than a sandwich and haven't suffered any trauma. Also should my dentist be held liable for the failed restoration and fix it as a discounted rate?
