Dental malpractice claims arise from various reasons, encompassing injuries or infections resulting from procedures or surgeries, erroneous diagnoses, faulty dental work, and more. We all trust and form relationships with our dental and medical facilities and practitioners and, of course, are appreciative of their efforts. However, the consequences of these failures can be profound, ranging from nerve damage to loss of jaw function. As one expert in the field aptly puts it, Richard Gurfein, “Medical and Dental professions which take lots of technical knowledge, experience and involve a high degree of skilled judgment. Gaining a jury verdict or settlement takes a considerable understanding of the medical field and law. Malpractice claims highlight dental professionals’ duty to uphold a standard of care and prevent potential risks to patients’ dental health by applying education, technology, empathy, and understanding of the human condition. We at Gurfein Douglas bring those insights to create the right theory of the case and can often achieve verdicts and settlements in  Dental Malpractice where serious injury has taken place from the negligence of a practitioner or facility.”
