FLORIDA DENTAL MALPRACTICE CLAIMS

CALL FOR YOUR FREE CONSULTATION WITH FLORIDA BAR BOARD CERTIFIED CIVIL TRIAL LAWYER, MARK J. LEEDS.

IF THERE IS NO RECOVERY, WE DO NOT CHARGE YOU ATTORNEY’S FEES OR COSTS. NOTE: The Florida Bar has no specific categories of lawyer for individual types of cases within the area of personal injury.

Consult your Florida Dental Malpractice Lawyer early. Dental Malpractice and Medical Malpractice cases are often technical, time consuming, and costly. In Florida, many dentists do not carry any malpractice insurance. Only a small percentage of Florida Personal Injury Lawyers have experience trying dental malpractice cases in a courtroom. If your case is turned down during your first consultation with a Florida Dental Malpractice Attorney, seek the second opinion of another Florida Dental Malpractice Lawyer. Many times I have accepted and settled cases that were originally rejected by a fellow Florida Dental Malpractice Lawyer. Not everyone evaluates a case in the same way.

YOUR FIRST CONSULTATION:

Your Florida Dental Malpractice Lawyer will want to know the smallest of details regarding your medical or dental malpractice. Some common questions are:

• What dentist(s) do you think committed dental malpractice?
• When do you think the dental malpractice occurred?
• What do you think your dentist(s) did wrong?
• Did the dental malpractice result in a death or prolonged illness?
• If a death claim, was there a will? Was there an estate opened?
• What has been the effect(s) of the dentist(s) malpractice on you and/or your loved ones?
• Are you and/or your loved one unable to work because of the dentist(s) malpractice?
• Do you need further care or treatment?
• What dental problems did you have before and how were these problems treated?

MATERIALS YOU SHOULD GATHER:

• Medical bills and records, if you have them
• Insurance information
• Medicare information
• Medicaid information, if applicable
• List of all dentists for the past five years

DEADLINE TO FILE A LAWSUIT:

Your Florida Dental Malpractice Lawyer will determine this during your free consultation.

THE LIMIT ON PAIN AND SUFFERING DAMAGES:

There is a limited amount of money available for which a victim can be compensated for pain and suffering damages, depending on the age of the event or claim. These damages are called “non-economic damages.” Depending on the date of the incident and/or the date of filing the lawsuit, Florida has several different legislative and constitutional amendments and changes in recent history, with more proposed and soon to be determined. Your Florida Dental Malpractice Lawyer will need to determine which limits apply to your claim.

At present, there are no limits on what Florida Dental Malpractice Lawyers call “economic damages” such as medical bills and lost wages, past, present and future. However, legislation has been signed with regard to the division of payment responsibilities between responsible negligent parties, in the event that more than one party is responsible for your injuries.

Additionally, damages against a sovereign entity of the State of Florida are capped by the Florida Legislature. Many of the hospitals in the State of Florida are sovereign entities, as well as the physicians they employ by contract. This cap on damages would also apply to some ambulance and rescue services utilized by cities and counties.

THE LIMITATION ON ATTORNEY’S FEES:

At the present time, the Florida Bar has proposed that a form be generated discussing this sensitive and controversial matter post a change to the Florida Constitution, commonly referenced as “Amendment Three.”

Additionally, attorney’s fees for a cause of action pursued against a sovereign entity of the State of Florida are capped at 25%.
