Compensation for dental negligence can be awarded were the treatment you have received was substandard, and where it has caused you an unnecessary injury. Dental negligence claims are typically made where there was a misdiagnosis and/or a lack of treatment, or where the medical technique used was unsuitable/sub-standard.
If you or a friend or relative have suffered poor dental care, there may be the potential to bring a claim of Dental Negligence.
One of our clients underwent surgery in August 2005 for the removal of a wisdom tooth, as a result of recurring pericoronitis. Following the surgery at the defending dental practice, our client suffered numbness and pain, partial loss of taste, speaking difficulties and psychological problems after the Defendant negligently caused damage to the Claimant’s left lingual nerve. Our client was forced to undergo further surgery at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital to remove the 1 1/2cm of damaged nerve, but continued to suffer pain and other difficulties.
