Description:
Nashville, Tennessee, personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff on a dental malpractice claim.
Reported by: Kent Morlan
The plaintiff brought suit against his dentist, asserting that the dentist was negligent in failing to diagnose and treat a cavity which the plaintiff contends was apparent from an x-ray and from his complaints of discomfort, ultimately resulting in loss of the plaintiff’s tooth. The action was dismissed because the plaintiff never filed a certificate of good faith. On appeal, the plaintiff argues that his claim falls within the common knowledge exception to the certificate of good faith requirement.
