Dental Malpractice

The firm has many years of experience handling all facets of health-care malpractice claims, including dental cases.  Its principals have defended dental professionals in various aspects of their practice including matters arising out of patient claims.  As with any health-care malpractice claim, we pride ourselves on our ability to quickly and efficiently understand the various technical and scientific issues at play in a case to complement our command of the legal defenses and issues necessary to obtain the best possible outcome for our clients.

Our significant experience handling dental malpractice cases has enabled us to gain a keen awareness of our clients’ goals, interests, and concerns as they navigate the litigation process, often for the first and only time in their careers.  We communicate frequently and sensitively with our clients to assume as much of the stress of litigation as possible, while ensuring that they play an active role in the process and are as fully-engaged as they wish to be throughout the case.  This includes not only working with the practitioner regarding issues that may ultimately affect the outcome at trial, but also in frankly addressing those factors that must be considered when an early resolution is both advisable for and sought by the client. 

We are highly experienced with the ethical and practical considerations that exist within a dental practice, and our attorneys have a command of the patient-privacy issues that arise in every dentist professional’s practice, including the impact of national laws that control these matters, like HIPAA and HITECH.

In addition to successfully resolving dental malpractice defense matters, the firm’s attorneys have also been consistently effective before regulatory officials at the State Board when complaints have been filed against registered nurses, chiropractic doctors, and hospitals and clinics. 

As fellow professionals, we fully understand the vital importance of protecting the clients’ reputation and standing with both Board members and their staff, and we work closely with our clients to articulate their position and to defend their professional licensure.
