Clinical Negligence

Dental Negligence Claim

I cannot thank John Bennett enough for all his help and support throughout my dental negligence claim. From the outset, John was extremely professional, approachable and reassuring. Everything was explained to me clearly and in a way that I could understand, which made what could have been a very daunting and complicated process much easier to deal with. I was kept extremely well informed throughout and always felt that I could ask questions and would receive a clear and helpful response. Most importantly, I always felt that I was in safe hands. I knew that John had my best interests at heart and I had complete confidence in his advice and guidance throughout the process. After I had seen the dental expert, John put forward a claim for £20,000, which was accepted. I was so happy when the settlement was agreed, particularly after everything I had been through. The outcome means a great deal to me and will make a real difference in helping me deal with the consequences of what happened. I am incredibly grateful to John for his professionalism, knowledge, patience and support throughout my claim. He made a difficult experience much more manageable and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who needs help with a dental negligence claim. Thank you, John, for everything you have done for me.
