Q: unfair dental program
i had applied for a program to help domestic violence victims get dental work done that were caused by thier abuser, i was accepted, i went to the dentest for a Consultation and a few weeks later i receved a call saying the were going to do a full mouth restore, i agreed and they started the work by pulling 10 of my bottom teeth, i was ok with this because they were doing a all on 4 mouth restore. a few weeks later i get a call asking if i would be willing to have my story aired on tv, i agreed. when they were not able to get the story on tv they fitted me with denturs that didnt fit properly, and i never heared back from them, when i went in to have the dentures fixed, i was told the only way i could wear a bottom denture was by doing a bone graft, but it very expensive, if the oeignal dentest had not pulled all my teeth i would have been ableto attach a partial plate on my botton denture. now i have no way of fixng my teeth can i sue the dentest for damages
A:
Dental malpractice is the most difficult of all malpractice cases.
you will probably have a hard time finding a lawyer to accept your case without the necessary evidence. Is there a written agreement of what they were to do?
find the agreement!
Your worst-case scenario is small claims where you can sue for up to $10k...which I know is not enough for what you went through.
