Our dental team have years of experience in dental practice and in assessing potential negligence claims. They will phone you to ask questions and explore angles arounds your claim. Sometimes the dental negligence may not be what or where you think it is and may not be obvious to those without dental training. Following your call, our dental team will set out the basis for your potential claim in preparation for our solicitors who will seek your agreement to drive your case forward.

Clinical Negligence Experts have a track record of success. Whilst we only represent claimants, our team has experience gained from working within the dentists’ Indemnifiers. This allows our legal team rare perspectives into what works and how to position your case to achieve the best outcome for you.

The Clinical Negligence Experts approach ensures that our legal team’s experience is supplemented with practical dentistry knowledge. Our legal team works in tandem with our dental team during the case to ensure that your legal claim is articulated effectively against recognised standards in UK dentistry. In our experience, well-backed arguments reduce the Indemnifier’s room to counter argue and lead to faster settlements.

The time it takes for a claim to settle can vary depending upon the circumstances of the case. We work effectively across dental and legal disciplines to ensure that your case is robustly argued and to minimise the time in which the ball is in our court. Depending on complexity, some cases can settle with no defence put up, others require further argument and expert input.

Our initial assessment of your claim costs nothing other than your time to speak with a member of our dental team. If your claim is positively assessed, we will pursue your case on a ‘No Win. No Fee’ basis. We will explain this as part of obtaining you authority to proceed and obtain your dental records.

Once we receive your records from your dentist, we will review them in conjunction with the findings from your discussion with us. That review will allow us to understand the basis for your claim and confirm it with you as the basis for proceeding. Occasionally, evidence in the dental records does not support a claim. If this is the case, we will inform you.
