Dental negligence falls under clinical negligence, focusing on harm caused by dental treatment. A solicitor handles accidents where substandard dental care led to injury or ongoing problems, such as improperly fitted crowns, failed extractions, or nerve damage. They gather dental records, obtain medical expert reports, advise on liability, and, if needed, raise a claim in the civil courts for compensation. Proceedings hinge on identifying breach of duty and causation within set time limits.

“I can't thank Jenna enough for all that she has done to settle my case. It took two years of Jenna tirelessly pursuing my case but she managed to get me the compensation I needed to get the right treatment after years of neglect by my dentist. I would have no reservations in recommending Jenna and the Howells team. ”

Gareth Lloyd
Head of Medical Negligence
“From the very beginning, Sophie was absolutely amazing. She was honest and transparent with me from the outset, which I really valued, and I always felt that she had my best interests at heart. She explained things clearly and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions or that anything was a problem. What really stood out to me was how personable and approachable Sophie was. She built such a great rapport with me, and I always felt comfortable speaking openly with her. Going through a legal claim can be quite daunting, but Sophie made the whole process feel much easier and gave me confidence that I was in safe hands. She was professional, supportive, responsive and incredibly knowledgeable, but at the same time she never felt distant or impersonal. I genuinely felt like she cared about me as a person rather than just another case. I honestly don’t think there is anything Sophie could have done differently to improve my experience. She was fantastic from start to finish and is a real credit to JF Law.”

Ruth Sparkes
Head of Client Support Services



Works with Ben Ward and 4 more
“My claim was handled by Sophie and then Amanda after Sophie left. Both knew their job well, and were efficient. They kept me well informed. The claim was fairly complex, with a lot of detail, but both Sophie and Amanda mastered all the information. An offer was made by Dental Protection just before Sophie left, and Amanda negotiated a good settlement. I was impressed with Amanda's tenacity to obtain as good a deal as possible. Both Sophie and Amanda were very pleasant to deal with. ”
