Appealing Dental Malpractice Case

Summary

If your dental malpractice case was dismissed in Missouri, you can consider appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. Start by filing a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari within 90 days of the lower courts decision. Consulting a medical malpractice attorney in Missouri is advisable, but for Supreme Court appeals, a D.C. Attorney may also be needed. If local attorneys have declined your case, explore pro bono options or legal aid services. Document all communications and gather records from all involved dentists. Consider consulting a new dentist for a second opinion and ensure they are qualified and experienced.
