Dental Malpractice

While no one likes going to the dentist, for most people it is a minor inconvenience. For some, however, this relatively routine activity can change their lives forever. Dental practitioners who are negligent can cause debilitation, lifelong injuries or even death.

If you or someone close you has been injured through the negligent acts of your dental practitioners, we can help you recover appropriate damages for your injuries. Berman & Simmons medical malpractice lawyers are recognized for our experience and resources in this sub-specialty.

We are equipped to handle dental malpractice claims involving a wide variety of issues, including:

Serious injury or death resulting from negligent dental procedures

Failure to properly treat or screen a patient with pre-existing medical conditions, such as those with heart problems

Negligent oral surgery

Failure to diagnose or treat cavities, plaque, periodontal or gum disease resulting in decayed or abscessed teeth

Timing is everything—don't delay if you have a potential medical malpractice claim

The state of Maine has strict Statutes of Limitations, which means you must act quickly or you will forever lose the opportunity to be compensated for your losses related to dental malpractice.

How much will our services cost?

You may be wondering how you will pay legal fees while your lawsuit is pending. The good news is—you won't pay anything upfront. We represent all dental malpractice clients on a contingent fee basis. This means we receive fees for our services only if we win. When we've successfully prevailed upon the responsible party or insurer to pay you, that's when we'll receive our payment, as well. Your lawsuit begins with a free case evaluation with a Berman & Simmons lawyer. We will thoroughly explain the details of our fee arrangement during this first consultation.

Why have so many other lawyers and Maine residents come to us over the years? The answer is simple: we get outstanding results.
