If you need to know how to file a complaint against a dentist in Los Angeles, our medical malpractice lawyer can help. We understand this process, when it may be necessary, and how to navigate it despite its frequent challenges.
California’s medical malpractice laws are complex, and it is not always easy to understand what you should do if you suffered injuries. Contacting our team is a good first step toward getting justice. If we believe you have a case, we can help you understand:
We know how dental errors commonly occur and how serious the resulting injuries can be. We will fight for fair compensation and hold the at-fault party or parties accountable. Some of the most common issues that might support a dental malpractice case include:
In any of these circumstances, our Los Angeles dental malpractice attorneys can manage your case from beginning to end. We will gather evidence, call in experts to offer their opinions, and develop a strong argument that supports your allegations against the dentist or dental care provider.
We know how to show that the dentist failed to provide an appropriate standard of care, and this caused your injuries. This is the basis of most dental malpractice cases.
The potential value of your Los Angeles dental malpractice case will depend greatly on your injuries and what they cost you physically, emotionally, and financially. Our attorneys identify your recoverable damages and develop a strong and compelling case to recover them. These damages generally include:
Your economic damages are those expenses you incur or will incur in the future because of your injuries. They could include:
Non-economic damages refer to the pain and suffering, emotional distress, inconvenience, disability, and disfigurement you endured because of the dental malpractice.
Unlike your financial expenses and losses, California Code, Civil Code – CIV § 3333.2 caps the non-economic damages you can recover in your case. Since California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 35 in 2022, these caps have increased to:
There are several caveats to these limits. First, the cap that applies in your case is likely higher. As stated in the legislation, the cap increases each year between 2023 and 2033.
The best way to understand what limits might apply to your claim and how this could affect your payout is to discuss it with your lawyer. Our attorneys can help you understand your case and answer your questions about these caps.
When you hire one of our dental malpractice attorneys in California, we get to work quickly. We know how to sue a dentist for malpractice and how to navigate the necessary steps.
To hold a dentist responsible for negligence and malpractice, we need ample evidence to show:
Our investigation into your dental malpractice case may begin with a review of your relevant medical records, discussing the circumstances with you, identifying other witnesses, and contacting dental experts in the greater Los Angeles area who will review your case.
Once we have strong evidence, we need to notify the accused party or facility about our intention to sue for malpractice. Our attorneys navigate this process regularly and understand how it works under California law.
Throughout this process, we will:
In many cases, notifying the dentist or dental office of our intention to sue spurs a settlement offer. This leads to negotiations and possibly an agreement. We may close the case without litigation. However, we will not hesitate to sue and take a case to trial when needed. We will fight for the money you deserve, even if that means going toe-to-toe in the courtroom.
Our attorneys are your best resources if you are wondering what to do when a dentist messed up. However, you need to act quickly.
Under CCP § 340.5, the statute of limitations on most medical malpractice lawsuits is three years. However, other deadlines might apply. California law requires you to complete other steps in the process before filing a lawsuit.
Contact our attorneys as soon as you discover your injuries or link them to dental malpractice. We can begin gathering evidence and reach out to our network of experts to identify the best dentist to review your case. These are essential steps in the dental malpractice process and lay the groundwork for settling your case or filing a lawsuit and taking the case to trial.
