When Do I Need a Dental Malpractice Attorney?

All instances of medical malpractice, including dental malpractice, occur when a healthcare professional fails to provide proper and reasonable care to a patient. As healthcare professionals, dentists must adhere to a strict medical code of ethics and follow all rules of practice to ensure patient safety. If a dentist breaches this code or fails to follow safety rules, patients can be seriously harmed.

You may require the assistance of a dental malpractice attorney if you sustained injuries as a result of the following:

• A dentist performed your procedure carelessly or with negligent disregard
• You received unnecessary procedures or you received the wrong procedure entirely
• Your dental procedure was performed without your prior consent
• Anesthesia was administered incorrectly, causing you to suffer a heart attack, brain damage or a life-threatening allergic reaction
• A dentist failed to diagnose or treat your dental condition
• You were inappropriately touched by a dentist or other dental professional
• You were not informed about all risks associated with your dental procedure
• A dentist performed your procedure without being licensed or qualified to do so

When a patient suffers an injury as a result of a dentist’s negligent actions or medical misconduct, they may be able to receive compensation by filing a lawsuit. The compensation awarded from a lawsuit can help cover the cost of current and future medical bills, as well as lost wages due to a patient’s inability to return to work.

How Our West Palm Beach Dental Malpractice Attorneys Can Help You

The state of Florida has a statute of limitations for pursuing legal action against a dental professional. This means all injured patients have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit against their dentist. Failing to do so within the time frame allotted may prevent them from receiving compensation for their injuries. Therefore, if you believe your injury may have resulted from dental malpractice, it is important to contact a reputable attorney as soon as possible.

We will collect all evidence as it pertains to your case, including medical records, statements from witnesses and previously filed complaints against the dentist, if applicable. We will also handle all correspondence with the insurance companies and consult with medical experts who can help prove your dentist acted negligently.

While dental practitioners cannot guarantee their treatments or procedures will always result in patient satisfaction, they can be held accountable if their negligence or misconduct caused harm or injury.
