Dallas Dentist Malpractice Attorney
Have You Been Injured Due to Improper Treatment By a Dentist? You May Be Owed Compensation
While most people are aware that doctors can be sued for medical malpractice, many other professionals in the health care industry are susceptible to medical malpractice suits, including dentists.
Dental malpractice occurs when someone providing dental care for you (whether this person is a dentist, dental assistant, pharmacist, or technician) treats you improperly. Improper treatment can include misdiagnoses, failure to provide treatment in a timely manner, failure to provide follow-up appointments, or prescription errors.
A successful dental malpractice claim must prove four different things:
- That the healthcare provider had an obligation to ensure the victim’s safety and health.
- That the healthcare provider did not meet this obligation and/or that the care provider did not meet the profession’s standards.
- That this shortcoming caused some sort of injury to the victim.
- That this injury caused damages (either financial or physical/emotional).
Modern medical malpractice cases (including dental malpractice claims) involve extremely complex medical and legal issues. These cases often involve expert witnesses who can testify about the defendant’s actions. Securing an expert witness who will testify on your behalf is often necessary to have a strong dental malpractice claim.
As with most cases involving medical malpractice, dental malpractice suits can be tricky to win for those without legal experience due to recent tort reform that has required that very strict conditions be met before a medical professional can be held liable for an injury. Without extensive knowledge of these legal conditions, your chances of success are virtually non-existent.
