What Is a Dental Negligence Claim?

Dental negligence can occur in routine procedures as well as complex treatments. These claims often arise where a dental professional:

  • Failed to diagnose or treat dental problems properly
  • Carried out unnecessary or incorrect treatment
  • Made errors during extractions, fillings, crowns, or root canal procedures
  • Failed to obtain informed consent
  • Caused nerve damage or infection due to poor technique or aftercare

If the accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In the vast majority of cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation and therefore it is usual for a specialised Personal Injury/Medical and Dental Negligence law firm to operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
