Medical and Dental Malpractice lawsuits

I recently returned from New York state (actually in upstate to be more precise) and wished to report on an important topic that is so often overlooked: that of dental as well as Medical Malpractice.... For example, a female recently went to a dentist in Connecticut to have a false tooth removed and then replaced with a permanent bridge. The dentist stated that he could give her a “celebrity smile,” but she claims he gave her an ugly one instead. All of this is according to a story published on CONPOST.COM, written by staff writer Dan Tepfer, and posted on Dec. 25, 2008.


All in all, the jury must have concured since she was eventually granted a $194,000 settlement. She will need it because her Attorney stated that she will now have to undergo 2-5 whole years of expensive (and possibly quite painful) corrective treatment to achieve the smile the Stamford dentist had promised her originally. Incidentially if you live in New York city and require a superlative construction site accidents Attorney then may I recommend the esteemed and competent offices of Geller & Siegal. They can help with a broad range of construction site accidents Attorney related cases. Anyway i did not mean to go on a tangent about construction site accidents so it is back to the article at hand:



In a New Jersey medical malpractice suit, which is similiar to a recent New York City case, a man won $2.7 million in a lawsuit in which he claimed that he underwent surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and ended up with serious brain damage. An article posted on WEBWIRE, on Dec. 4, 2008, described the argument made by attorneys on behalf of the man. The argument asserted that brain damage resulted due to the attending anesthesiologist’s failure to correct a change in the man’s vital signs during several minutes when his oxygen saturation levels declined, and this caused respiratory arrest and brain damage to the forty-four-year-old patient. The patient, who had worked as CFO for a health care system, claims that he is now unemployable due to serious problems with short-term memory and communication skills. And enouph about construction site accidents and all of that.
