Dental negligence can be a complex area of law, and it requires a particular set of skills and knowledge to make sure you have not only the best chance of winning the claim but also the next chance of maximising your settlement.
Loads of law firms do not specialise in personal injury claims, which for dental negligence compensation claims can mean the difference between a rubbish, decent, or excellent outcome.
So read on for more advice.
Did you know…
Loads of the websites that claim to be specialists in areas like dental law are not actually law firms themselves – no, they are simply claims management companies who refer cases to solicitors who are on their panel. In reality what you are getting is a law firm you haven’t even chosen. They could be any old law firm without the proper experience or lawyers to actually fight for your dental negligence compensation claim.
Why is dental law complex?
As with medical negligence – a similar area of law that we also specialise in – being able to prove that you are the victim of negligence and have suffered as a result isn’t easy. To give you a comparison: proving you broke your arm when you have fallen over is simple. You hit the floor, and the impact broke your arm. But proving that a dentist failed to diagnose a problem as opposed to it simply being difficult to spot takes specialist medical evidence and legal knowhow.
Records may not speak in your favour, and it may be difficult to get a medical expert to agree that a dentist has missed something that should have been spotted.
