We’re specialising in fighting for the rights of former patients of disgraced dentist Mr Desmond D’Mello of the Daybrook Dental Surgery in Nottinghamshire. Dubbed the ‘Dirty Dentist’ in the press, D’Mello was caught and filmed by a whistle blower ignoring important NHS infection control procedures.
The investigations are ongoing – but what we all know is that people have been put at risk of being exposed to serious infections like HIV and Hepatitis B and C.
There has never been a recall of this scale and nature in the UK ever before. A dedicated helpline and advice / testing centre has been set up in Arnold. Around 22,000 patients over a 32 year period are being recalled for testing. The whole community has been shaken by the news of the much loved dentist who was secretly flouting NHS hygiene guidelines.
What we are left with is potentially thousands of people having to wait for results of testing to find out whether they have been exposed to a life altering illness. The stress and worry that has been caused is significant, and many former patients have come forward for our help and advice.
Since we started our campaign to fight for the rights of those affected by D’Mello, friends and family have come together and instructed us to represent them for their cases. Given the close-knit community of Arnold where the scandal centred, many friends and family have used the Daybrook Dental Practice for years, and as former patients of D’Mello, we’re now helping them obtain the justice they deserve.
We ask that you spread the word that The Injury Lawyers are the specialists in Daybrook Dental negligence cases. The claims are set to be formed in to a group action (known as a Group Litigation order, or GLO for short) where thousands of claims are fought as one. You and your family may be entitled to compensation for the stress and worry caused by what has happened – so contact us now for expert advice.
Many of our clients have reported not just concerns for their own safety but concerns for their family and children. Youngsters having to undergo testing for serious infections like HIV and Hepatitis is terrible – we know it needs to be done, but so many are angry and concerned that it has come to this in the first place.
Whilst we can’t turn back the clock, and we can’t remove the worry and stress that this has caused, what we can do is help you to seek justice for what has happened to you, your family, you friends, and the community.
