QUESTION
Can I sue my oral surgeon for negligence which caused me loss of vision?
Asked on Nov 29th, 2014 on Personal Injury - Alabama
More details to this question:
My oral surgeon performed a bone graft for dental implants, and did not prescribe a blood thinner. A blood clot developed and traveled to my right eye and caused loss of vision. I am a first grade teacher in a public school system. I have already missed a great deal of time from my occupation because of his negligence. I need to know what, if anything, I can do to make this dentist take responsibility for at least paying for the monthly eye injections and medicine I am having to pay for in hopes of getting some of my vision back. I had 20/20 vision before this encounter. Any help on this please?

It takes the opinion of a dental expert to determine if you have a potential malpractice case. Medical malpractice lawyers that do dental malpractice cases typically have such experts available. Consider consulting one. Good luck.
