Dental Malpractice
The Levy Law Firm specializes in dental malpractice cases involving nerve injuries, implant complications, and wrongful deaths. With unique expertise in both dentistry and law, we evaluate cases through dental records, expert testimony, and comprehensive analysis. Our contingency-based model ensures clients receive dedicated representation without upfront costs, focusing on maximizing compensation for victims across California and nationwide.
Nerve Injuries
We handle complex nerve injury cases resulting from dental procedures, including lingual nerve damage during wisdom tooth removal. Our firm has secured landmark verdicts, including the nation's largest lingual nerve injury award. With specialized knowledge of anatomical risks and surgical standards, we prove negligence through expert medical testimony and detailed case preparation to recover compensation for permanent injuries affecting speech, sensation, and quality of life.
Implant Complications
Our firm investigates dental implant malpractice involving nerve damage, improper placement, and failure to diagnose complications. We work with dental experts to demonstrate standard-of-care violations during implant procedures. Through meticulous case preparation, we secure compensation for victims suffering chronic pain, numbness, and additional corrective surgery costs, leveraging our deep understanding of both surgical protocols and legal requirements for malpractice claims.
Wrongful Death Claims
We represent families in dental malpractice wrongful death cases caused by infections, anesthesia errors, and delayed diagnoses. Our experience includes recovering substantial settlements for preventable deaths linked to dental negligence. We handle complex medical-legal analysis to prove causation between dental care failures and fatal outcomes, providing compassionate yet aggressive representation during probate and civil proceedings to hold providers accountable for preventable tragedies.
Informed Consent Violations
Our firm challenges cases where patients weren't properly informed about treatment risks. We demonstrate how inadequate disclosure violates medical ethics and legal standards, even when procedures follow technical guidelines. Through expert testimony on patient education requirements, we prove how lack of informed consent constitutes malpractice when patients suffer known risks that weren't properly communicated, securing compensation for injuries that might have been avoided with proper disclosure.
