Attorney Fee Dispute — dentist damaged nerve during procedure

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

dentist damaged nerve during procedure. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
