Raleigh Dental Malpractice Attorney
North Carolina Lawyer Representation in Dental Negligence Cases
One aspect of medical malpractice that may arise is dental malpractice. Injuries can be suffered that result in nerve damage, bite issues, and other permanent injuries that can drastically affect your life. Just like doctors need to be held responsible for negligence, dentists and other dental professionals must be held accountable for the actions or inaction that caused your injuries.
With over 30 years of experience, I handle a wide variety of dental malpractice cases from my office, the Law Office of Charles M. Putterman. I am dedicated to my personal injury clients, aggressively pursuing compensation for the losses they have suffered.
There are many types of dental malpractice cases that can lead to serious bone injuries, brain injuries or other permanent injuries. I confidently represent clients in dental negligence cases involving:
- Injuries to the nerves that innervate the jaw, lips and tongue
- Dental procedures leading to wrongful death
- Injuries resulting from anesthesia used in a dental procedure
- Failure to diagnose oral cancer
- Failure to correctly set a broken jaw
- Incorrect placement of braces or other orthodontic appliance
- Treatment that exceeds the scope of consent
- Dental product liability
- Medication errors
Dental malpractice cases can sometimes be difficult. To have a claim, you must have a permanent injury that cannot be repaired. Simply having a dentist work on an incorrect tooth may not be enough to file a claim for compensation.
Dental negligence is a serious situation. If you have permanent injuries from dental work that was done, contact my office today to schedule an initial consultation. I can help you seek compensation for the dental malpractice or orthodontic malpractice that was committed against you.
