For many, going to the dentist is an unpleasant experience. From fillings and root canals to oral surgeries, dentists tend to have a bad rap. And while, generally speaking, people most often visit dentists for routine procedures, things can go wrong.

So what do you do if something goes wrong while you are in chair? How do you proceed if a procedure leads to complications? From nerve damage in the tongue and gums to painful and uncomfortable implants, dentists, like any other doctor are liable and can be held negligent. And, like any other doctor, if a dentist fails to give quality care and or services, he or she can be held responsible.

Some examples of dental malpractice include:
• Wrongful tooth extraction
• Nerve injuries to the tongue, affecting the patients taste glands
• Complications from oral implants like crows and bridges
• Failure to take thorough medical history that then leads to complications
• Unnecessary dental work

It is important to remember that to file a dental malpractice claim, you must be able to prove long-term damage. Pain in the weeks following a procedure could be normal, but pain months later might not be. For some people, emergency surgery was necessary to correct mistakes made by dentist, if this is the case, dental malpractice is at fault.

Uninsured and underinsured automobile insurance protects drivers when the other driver does not have automobile insurance coverage or not enough automobile insurance coverage.

Georgia law requires all insurance carriers offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage with their policies. Unless you reject this type of insurance coverage in writing, you probably have, at the very least, minimum uninsured or underinsured driver coverage on your policy.

Uninsured and underinsured driver insurance coverage pays for your injuries and property damage when you are involved in an accident with a driver who is at fault and has no, or the minimum liability insurance coverage.

If you are involved in a car accident, you must obtain insurance information from the other driver and give that information to your insurance company. If the other driver has no insurance or is underinsured, your insurance company usually requires a signed statement from the other driver stating they have no insurance or what their coverage limits are.

Your insurance company may not compensate you to the amount you are entitled to. You need an experienced automobile accident attorney in uninsured and underinsured claims to protect your legal rights and make certain you get the compensation you deserve.

If you live in Atlanta, Georgia or the surrounding area and you were involved in an automobile accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, please contact an experienced automobile accident attorney at Robbins & Associates, P.C. today to schedule a confidential consultation at no cost to you.

On August 8, 2008, the New York Times published an article about the differences between settling and taking a case to trial. In special conjunction with victims of accidents and medical malpractice, the author of the article said in general, taking a settlement is more lucrative than going to trial. That is not to say that one should try and settle on their own. Having a lawyer on their side will help ensure that the settlement offer is fair and that the complainant is not being taken advantage of.

For many plaintiffs, going to trail is not solely based on a monetary goal. Some people go to trial because they want to ascertain information. If one were to settle, the settlement would be solely monetarily based and could, as in many cases, involve a confidentiality agreement. If one wanted information, chances are, if they settled out of court, they would not get it.

Going to court involved fees that settling outside does not. Court fees can add up, and between court fees, lawyer fees and time taken off work, people can get frustrated. If you are considering going to court, it is best to consult with a lawyer to make sure that you have a case worth trying. Many times, people go to court, without a lawyer and find that their case gets thrown out due to technicalities they missed because they were not well versed in the law. If, however, you spoke with a lawyer, and he or she recommends taking the case to trial, then it is important to review the costs and the trial’s personal worth to you.
