Doing Something Dumb Does Not Mean it is not Eligible for a Medical Negligence Claim

People have done quite a few dumb things in their lives. In fact, a whole new category of reality television has been created documenting the things that people do. And despite the proliferation of these programs that also come with warnings, people still have not learned a thing.

One of the more interesting things that people do involves being pulled by a car over icy roads. While this may have been a good idea after a few beers, losing all of one’s front teeth after slamming in to the car’s boot was not exactly the consequence people were looking at.

After being bloodied, the person with the empty smile was rushed by his friends to the nearest hospital where he was told to gargle water until his gums healed. He was then sent home after a few hours of observation.

Two weeks later, the empty-smiled person was back in the hospital because of serious swelling to his gums. It turns out that bits of his teeth still remained embedded in his gums and needed to be surgically removed.

After the surgery, he filed medical negligence claims case against the attending doctors because they just told him to gargle water and sent him home. But to be sure he had a case, he first searched the internet, using the keyword medicalnegligenceclaims, in order to find a lawyer to talk. And after confirming his suspicions was told to file a case.
