QUESTION
Can you recover ER costs from bad reaction to drug at dentist?
Asked on Mar 04th, 2013 on Medical Malpractice - California
More details to this question:
I had a horrible reaction to local anesthetic at dentist appt. I was taken in ambulance to ER and released a few hours later. I think the dentist gave too much of a drug, or I had a bad reaction (I don't think I've ever had the drug) or he accidentally injected into vein, or ALL 3. I will have to pay ER bill through HMO, I lost 1/2 day of work, couldn't attend my son's Open House, and will have to go to another dentist to have the procedure done sooner or later. Do I have any chance of suing this dentisit?
