Dental Injury Claims
Dental Injury Claims
A visit to the dentist should be a straightforward experience, but when dental negligence occurs, the impact can be painful and long-lasting. At JMP Solicitors, we specialise in supporting individuals affected by substandard dental care, helping them secure the compensation they deserve.
If you have suffered due to negligent dental treatment, you may be eligible to make a claim. Our experienced solicitors are here to provide expert legal advice and guide you through the claims process with care and professionalism.
What is Dental Negligence?
Dental negligence occurs when substandard care leads to harm. This can include incorrect procedures, misdiagnosis, or failure to obtain consent before treatment.
JMP Solicitors handles a wide range of dental negligence cases, including situations where poor treatment has resulted in pain, infection, or long-term damage. No matter the nature of your dental injury, our team is here to help you pursue a claim.
Examples of Dental Negligence
Failure to obtain consent for treatment: Undergoing procedures without full disclosure of risks and options.
Surgical errors: Mistakes made during oral surgery, leading to nerve damage or infection.
Incorrect extractions: Removing the wrong tooth or performing unnecessary extractions.
Incorrect or inadequate treatment: Poorly executed fillings, crowns, or implants that cause further damage.
Failure to diagnose or treat: Neglecting to identify and address serious dental issues such as gum disease or infections.
If you have experienced any of these issues, you may be entitled to make a claim.
