The length of time that it takes for a successful dental negligence claim to go through will depend on the specific circumstances of the claim and whether the other party admits liability for your injury, is willing to make a settlement or wants to defend against your claim. A straightforward dental negligence claim, where the dental professional involved admits liability straight away and negotiations can begin regarding a settlement sum of compensation, could take a few months. Some complex dental negligence claims can take significantly longer. In most cases, a dental negligence claim is settled before it reaches the courtroom.
