Dental law can be a complex area of law. Many personal injury claims are pursued in very standardised ways, but dental law can be far more complex when you are making a dental negligence compensation claim.
This is why it is so important to speak to us about your options because we not only specialise but have pursued thousands of dental negligence claims and obtained millions of pounds for our clients.
We like to remind people that there is a reason as to why we are called THE Injury Lawyers. Injury law is all we do.
Dental negligence claims have been on the rise in recent years and we have seen a real surge in people coming forward and asking for our help. People are a lot more prepared to question their treatment and there are still, sadly, dental practitioners out there who constantly fail to provide the level of care that is expected of them.
Common forms of dental negligence often involve:
- Gum disease (Periodontal) claims – failure to treat and diagnose
- Negligent dental extractions – whether excess damage has been caused or the tooth could have been saved (scary, but common)
- Negligent bridge, crown, implant, and veneer claims
- Infections
- General failures to treat and diagnose
The really important part of proving your dental negligence claim is the medical evidence part. We need to obtain medico-legal reports where an independent expert can give their opinion as to whether you have suffered negligent treatment. We use these reports to prove your claim and to show the extent of the loss to you so we can accurately value the case.
Instructing an expert dental negligence lawyer is important because we have:
- Dedicated injury lawyers with extensive experience in fighting for the rights of dental negligence victims
- Access to the highest quality medico-legal experts
- Relationships with specialist dental negligence barrister to help fight your case
- No win, no fee representation so you can rest easy that you won’t be charged if the case is unsuccessful (subject to the terms of the agreement and our acceptance of your case)
- Maximum compensation and potentially higher payouts using our experience and know-how and money saving funding arrangements
