San Antonio Densist Malpractice

San Antonio, Texas Personal Injury Lawyer Michael Grossman Discusses Dental Malpractice & Dentist Malpractice

When people think of medical malpractice, they typically think of lawsuits filed against doctors. However, virtually any medical professional can be sued for medical malpractice, including dentists. Victims of injury can potentially bring a dental malpractice lawsuit against anyone providing dental care, including dentists, dental assistants, pharmacists, and technicians.

Any form of improper treatment can potentially be grounds for a dental malpractice lawsuit, including failure to provide proper treatment in a timely manner, misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose a condition, neglecting to provide a necessary follow-up appointment or procedure, or errors filing a patient’s prescription (either committed by the dentist or a pharmacist). Dental malpractice lawsuits contain a number of hurdles that must be overcome, but experienced San Antonio dental malpractice attorney Michael Grossman is here to help you understand what you are up against and how Grossman Law Offices can help.

If you are going to file a successful dental malpractice claim, you must prove four different things:

• The defendant (or the dental care provider you are accusing of negligence) had a legal duty of care to act in your best interest
• The defendant did not meet a reasonable standard of care as set by other professionals in his or her field
• This negligence caused you some type of injury
• Damages were incurred, whether financial (in the form of medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, etc.), physical (pain and suffering), or emotional (mental/emotional turmoil)

In most cases, proving these four elements requires the presence of an expert witness who can testify as to the nature of the defendant’s conduct. Due to the complex nature of medical issues, this testimony is typically necessary to prove that the defendant was negligent. If you do not know how to secure an expert witness, you will have a hard time convincing a jury that your claim is legitimate. Thankfully, our legal professionals know how to secure the expert testimony you need to have a strong case.

The blunt truth is that non-attorneys simply cannot win medical malpractice lawsuits, including dental malpractice cases. In recent years, legislators have instituted a wave of tort reform designed to protect medical professionals from lawsuits. Since this tort reform, any medical malpractice case must meet extremely specific conditions if the plaintiff is to receive any compensation at all. Most non-attorneys do not even know these conditions exist, and someone without extensive experience with these types of cases will have no idea how to prove that these conditions were met.
