You may well have a claim that would be recognized in Pennsylvania. You failed to provide any facts that would permit me to specifically comment on the nature of the negligent medical care provided. The kind of injury you describe has been known to to occuroccur with wisdom teeth extractions. Loss of nerve function is often preventable. Whether it should been prevented in your care depends on the specific facts or your case. You do not indicate the particular area of the state where this incident occurred. You should feel free to contact a lawyer familiar with medical negligence claims in your jurisdiction. If you reside in Western Pennsylvania feel free to call my office.
