Hi, I was the victim of medical negligence and would like to claim compensation for personal damages from the NHS.
I was wondering how much I would approximately make from a dental malpractice lawsuit?
I went to my dentists for a regular check up and my dentist convinced me to get an operation to remove a back molar tooth because it had a cavity in the tooth, it had not been bothering me but he was adamant it was in my interest and convinced me to have the procedure.
I went to have the operation at an NHS dental clinic hospital and after it I was in agonising pain and the bleeding from my gum would not stop, I couldn't eat, had to take time off work because I was hurting.
The wound left by the surgeon later got infected and developed into an abscess and I suffered even more.
Can I claim compensation against the NHS for pain and suffering from medical negligence?
If I lose my case in court will I have to pay any fees or cover any legal costs?
