Dental Malpractice Cases

Michigan dental malpractice lawyers represent clients injured due to mistakes by dentists in the treatment of dental conditions. Injuries often occur when a dentist, oral surgeon, periodonist, endodontist or other dental professional fail to diagnose a condition, cause an injury during a procedure, fail to properly treat a dental condition, or delay in the diagnose of a condition or disease.

Michigan dental malpractice lawyers have experience in reviewing dental records to determine whether an injury was the result of a dental mistake or simply a poor outcome from a procedure or oral surgery that was done properly. Because there are risks and complications with most dental procedures, the injuries to the patient must be result of negligent care by the dentist in order to succeed in a dental malpractice case. Additionally, the injuries suffered by the patient must be severe and more than temporary discomfort following a procedure.

Common types of dental malpractice include the following:

  • Wisdom tooth extraction injuries
  • Failure to diagnose oral or tongue cancer
  • Root canal mistakes
  • Improper administration of anesthesia
  • Errors in the placement of crowns, bridges, and fillings
  • Negligence in placement of dental implants
  • Extraction of the wrong tooth
  • Failure to treat post-surgical infections or prescribe antibiotics
  • Medication mistakes
  • Physical or sexual abuse by a dentist
  • Failure by a general dentist to refer to a specialist, like an oral surgeon

Common injuries of dental malpractice include:

  • Nerve injuries, including the lingual nerves
  • Facial numbness, tingling, and loss of sensation
  • Infections causing significant injuries
  • Temporal mandibular joint syndrome (TMJ)
  • Fractured jaws
  • Loss of teeth
  • Wrongful death
  • Severe pain and discomfort

In MIchigan, there is a strict time limit for filing a dental malpractice case agaisnt a dentist, oral surgeon, endodontist, or periodontist. This time limit, called the statute of limitation, is two years from the date of the negligent treatment. There are very few exceptions to this limitation period and therefore it is important to contact a Michigan dental malpractice lawyer as soon as you realize or believe you are the victim of dental malpractice.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
