FACTS ABOUT DENTAL MALPRACTICE
A BITING LEGAL ISSUE THAT IS MORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE REALIZE
If you believe that you suffered quantifiable damages as a result of negligence by a dentist, you may have grounds for a malpractice lawsuit. The best person to consult is an attorney who specializes in personal liability cases, and particularly in dental malpractice.
Because the damages in dental malpractice cases tend to be relatively "small" and the cost of a trial may exceed potential payments from a successful lawsuit, attorneys will often advise settlement or peer review. There are many cases, however, do involve substantial damages.
Note that any lawsuit must be brought within a period of time set by state law, which is called the "statute of limitations," and this can be as short as one year after treatment ends.
