FAQs

Professional Support

If you ask us to represent you in bringing a claim for compensation for dental negligence, we will stay by your side every step of the way to make sure you have the support you need.

Letter of Claim

We will start by advising your dental practice and their insurer that you intend to make a dental negligence claim. They may admit liability straightaway, in which case, your claim will be about exactly how much compensation you will receive.

Consultation with Dental Experts

We can arrange for you to be examined by dental experts who will be able to prepare a report setting out what has happened, what treatment you might need and what your prognosis is.

Evaluating Dental Negligence Compensation

This will form the basis of your claim, and you can expect to be compensated for the pain and suffering you have undergone as well as for any financial losses, such as the cost of treatment to rectify problems, loss of earnings if you have had to miss work and expenses such as travel costs.

We are often able to reach an agreement by way of negotiation so that you will not have to go to court. If we do not think that you have been offered enough money or the other side does not admit liability, we will prepare a strong case on your behalf for court and instruct an advocate with expertise in dental negligence claims to represent you at the hearing.

The court will start by setting a timetable for what will happen in the run-up to a final hearing. This will include swapping evidence such as medical reports and witness statements. It is a requirement that you attempt to resolve matters during this pre-trial period wherever possible.
