Dental Malpractice Lawyer
Injuries caused by dental malpractice can be painful and traumatic. If you believe your dental health professional has breached their duty of care through negligence or intentionally wrongful acts, you may be eligible for compensation.
Any patient injury or wrongful death due to negligent dental work could constitute dental malpractice. To pursue a dental malpractice claim, you need to be able to prove that dental malpractice occurred and demonstrate the extent of your damages.
Understanding the complexities of the law to claim compensation can be overwhelming, which is where we come in. We can offer specialised advice and representation to help you succeed in obtaining fair compensation for your claim.
WHY YOU MAY NEED A DENTAL MALPRACTICE LAWYER
There are various situations where you may need the services of a dental malpractice lawyer. Dental professionals, including dentists, dental assistants, orthodontists, and oral surgeons, are expected to provide treatment with reasonable skill and care. Failure to deliver appropriate dental treatment can result in a breach of duty of care, potentially affecting a person’s dental and overall health.
Common examples of dental negligence include:
- Surgical errors during procedures
- Damage caused to existing healthy teeth
- Lost or ruined implants/crowns
- Incorrect tooth removal
- Failure to investigate and properly diagnose symptoms for dental conditions
- Infections caused by dental incompetence
- Inadequate monitoring/checking of a patient’s dental condition
- Incorrect treatment/medication being prescribed for dental conditions
- Misread x-rays or other diagnostic imaging
