What does dental negligence involve?
- Diagnostic errors: Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of dental conditions, leading to inappropriate or delayed treatment.
- Treatment errors: Mistakes during dental procedures such as extractions, fillings, root canals, implants, or cosmetic treatments that cause harm or require further corrective work.
- Failure to obtain informed consent: Not fully informing patients about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a dental procedure, thereby undermining their ability to make informed decisions.
- Inadequate aftercare: Poor post-treatment care or lack of clear follow-up instructions, which may result in complications or worsening of dental conditions.
- Systemic failures: Issues such as unsanitary conditions, inadequate infection control, or failure to adhere to industry standards that contribute to patient harm.
How can a solicitor help with dental negligence, and what does it cost?
- Evaluate your claim: Reviewing your dental records, treatment history, and consulting with dental experts to determine if the standard of care was breached.
- Gather and assess evidence: Collecting critical documentation, witness statements, and expert reports to build a robust case for compensation.
- Negotiate settlements: Engaging with dental professionals and insurers to secure a fair settlement that covers medical expenses, lost earnings, and compensation for pain and suffering.
- Represent you in court: Advocating on your behalf during litigation if a negotiated settlement is not reached, ensuring your case is strongly presented in court.
- Provide strategic legal advice: Advising on the best approach—whether to settle out of court or proceed with litigation—and guiding you through every step of the legal process.
Costs for dental negligence cases depend on the complexity of your claim, the level of expert involvement required, and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, although some firms may offer fixed-fee packages for initial consultations or standard claims. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, explore potential compensation, and obtain a clear estimate of the expenses involved.
