CASE RESULTS

$3903500.00 - verdict for a 35 year old female who treated with a general dentist in the Bronx for a root canal on an upper molar. The dentist caused the plaintiff to sustain trigeminal neuralgia. She suffered severe piercing debilitating pain that radiated from the root canalled tooth to her right ear, which followed the pathway of the nerve. She underwent gamma knife surgery of the brain, which provided her temporary relief, though she continued under heavy medication to date to try and dull or control the pain. This is the largest reported verdict for a dental malpractice case in New York State. Bronx County. Dental Malpractice

$2550000.00 - settlement for a union carpenter who fell from scaffolding causing a crush injury to the right foot requiring surgery to relieve compartment syndrome. As a result of the injury the plaintiff sustained Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. New York County. Construction Accident

$1350000.00 - settlement against a hospital that misdiagnosed a cyst in a young woman's jaw, which led to improper follow up and treatment by an oral surgeon. Years later the cyst reoccurred in the same area and required removal of three quarters of her jaw. Subsequent to the removal of her jaw a graft from her fibula was taken and attached to a titanium plate that was used to replace her jaw. A skin graft from her hip was taken to replace the gum tissue in that portion of her mouth. Implants, restorations and further bone grafts will be required to replace the teeth in that area. The expert for the defendant alleged that had the pathologist properly read the slide the treatment that was performed years later would have been required at that time.

The plaintiff treated with the orthodontist for a number of years. As a result of the treatment the roots of her upper and lower front teeth sustained severe resorption. At the time of the settlement the plaintiff had not lost any teeth. Two years prior to the settlement her oral surgeon has suggested extraction of 10 teeth and replacing them with implants and restorations.

At that time it was evident that her right cuspid and bi-cuspid were transposed, left cuspid and bi-cuspid were transposed and that her mouth had overcrowding. The doctor told the family that he would bring the teeth down in the transposed position and straighten her teeth with braces. He never discussed any alternative treatment. There existed other forms of treatment, one of which was to extract the four bi-cuspids to alleviate the overcrowding problem and the issue with the transposed teeth. The plaintiff will require restorative treatment to make her teeth appear normal. After a week long trial the Jury awarded the plaintiff $200,000.00 for future dental treatment, $15,000.00 for past pain and suffering and $95,000.00 for future pain and suffering. Albert W.
