dental malpractice lawyer can help you understand your options. The Granda Law Firm assists patients with nerve damage, extraction errors, infections, anesthesia issues, and implant failures in Middlesex County and across North Jersey. Whether the procedure happened near downtown New Brunswick or at a practice in Newark or Montclair, we guide you with calm, clear steps.
Common Dental Negligence Issues
Claims often involve inferior alveolar or lingual nerve injuries, perforations during root canals, retained fragments after extraction, improper sterilization, and implant placement errors. Postoperative infections and anesthesia complications can also cause lasting harm. We review the chart, imaging, and consent forms to identify where care fell below standards. Then we explain practical next steps.
Why Legal Help Matters In Dental Cases
Dentistry records can be highly technical, and many injuries are not obvious at first. We coordinate evaluations with
specialists, compare treatment to accepted protocols, and document pain, numbness, and functional loss. Damages may include medical costs, lost income, and quality-of-life impacts. Our approach keeps the process organized and understandable.
Proof And Expert Requirements In New Jersey
Most claims require an Affidavit of Merit from a qualified expert early in the case. We secure timely opinions, confirm credentials, and present a clear theory of negligence and causation. Throughout the matter, we keep you updated on deadlines and filings. Strong expert support helps drive fair results.
Dental Malpractice Questions We Hear Often
How do I know if my numbness after a procedure is malpractice?
Some numbness can be temporary, but lasting nerve injury may signal negligence. We obtain imaging and specialist evaluations to confirm the source and extent of damage. Documentation helps connect the injury to the procedure. If standards were not followed, we advise on next steps.
My dentist says complications were a known risk. Can I still bring a claim?
Known risks do not excuse negligent technique or poor planning. We review consent forms, preoperative assessments, and the procedure itself to see whether care met professional standards. If errors caused harm, the claim can still move forward. We explain the difference clearly.
Do I need a second opinion from another dentist?
A second opinion often helps clarify diagnosis and future care needs. We guide you to appropriate specialists and collect records efficiently. These evaluations support case value and treatment planning. You remain in control of your care decisions.
How long do dental malpractice cases take?
Timelines vary with injury severity, healing, and expert reviews. Some cases resolve in negotiations after records are complete, while others require litigation. We move each step forward and keep you updated. Expect regular communication about milestones.
What compensation is available in dental cases?
Compensation can include medical expenses, future procedures, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Nerve injuries with lasting effects often require detailed future care plans. We quantify those needs with credible experts. Our goal is a complete and fair recovery.
