Spanish Dental malpractice lawyers play a major role in patient advocacy by standing up for their rights and demanding justice from the negligent party. Often, victims of dental malpractice must attend follow-up appointments and recover from their injuries. This makes it difficult to fight a legal case and fully heal.
By hiring a dental malpractice attorney, victims of negligent dental work have someone to handle all communications with the liable party and their insurance company. Plus, dental injury victims have more time to recover from the incident physically and mentally when they hire a personal injury lawyer.
A Dental Malpractice Lawyer Will Handle Every Legal Detail of Your Case to Advocate for Your Rights
Understandably, you probably feel emotionally charged after suffering the consequences of dental malpractice. You trusted your dentist to treat you with the utmost care, and now, you’re stuck dealing with the aftermath of their wrongdoing.
When you work with a medical malpractice attorney from our law firm, you only need to focus on one thing: your recovery. Meanwhile, we’ll advocate for you by handling the following legal tasks:
- Speaking to any other party involved in your case, so you do not have to face the party that injured you on your own
- Collecting evidence of the negligent medical care you received
- Proving who is liable for your accident, such as a dentist, dental hygienist, nurse, or anyone else who works in the dental office
- Determining how your injury happened, whether you had surgery performed on the wrong tooth or suffered nerve damage
- Recording all your economic and non-economic damages
- Taking your case to court if that is what’s necessary to hold the negligent dentist accountable
- Explaining the laws that apply to your case, such as the medical malpractice statute of limitations, CCP § 340.5
- Informing you of your legal options, which may include filing a dental malpractice claim or lawsuit
- Speaking to any witnesses who can confirm the dentist did not provide the expected standard of care
- Referencing dental expert witness statements to confirm that you were not cared for correctly
- Answering any questions you have and being accessible to you throughout your case
Our personal injury lawyers make it our priority to pursue justice for all of your clients. If a medical professional injured you, we will fight to prove you deserve a fair settlement.
Your Legal Team Will Advocate for Your Right to Fair Compensation If You Suffered Dental Negligence
Part of our job as dental malpractice attorneys is to seek the compensation you deserve. We’ll advocate for you by building a case that proves you’re owed compensation. Some of the damages you may be able to recover include:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Medical expenses, including the cost of any treatments you needed to recover from the malpractice
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Reduced earning capacity
- Lost income
- Wrongful death damages if your loved one passed away because of complications linked to dental malpractice
When a dentist doesn’t deliver the standard of care expected, they should be responsible for compensating you.
Proving Negligence in a Dental Malpractice Case
Before we can pursue compensation on your behalf, we need to prove that the liable party was negligent. We can do this by satisfying the following four elements:
- The liable party had a duty to provide you with the level of care you expect from a dental professional
- The work they performed did not meet this standard of care
- Their negligence caused your injury
- You suffered damages
Our team aims to meet two goals as we pursue your case: to hold the liable party accountable and to recover the money you need. We will advocate for your fair financial recovery throughout your case.
