Suing, Lawsuits, and other fun stuff

Some of you may be aware that I was the victim of dental malpractice almost 2 months ago. I had to have a bad tooth pulled before I could have my back surgery. Someone wrote down the wrong tooth number on the referral (after 2 dentists and several x-rays showed clearly which tooth # to be pulled). No one took responsibility, rather they lied to me - when all the paperwork and x-rays I have prove that the tooth they pulled was healthy and the tooth # they were suppose to pull looks terrible and was not pulled. (I went to a different dentist who pulled the correct tooth and looked at my previous xrays and said they definitely pulled the wrong tooth - a perfectly good tooth)

So I said all that to say this. I've never sued anyone. But I'm not left with any other option. Reason is, the tooth they wrongfully pulled was the very last tooth in the back that was GOING to be a tooth to use for a bridge. Now it is gone, as is the bad tooth that was in front of it. The only option I have to get teeth back in there will be implants which I cannot afford.

As you can see, I have a case. I contacted one lawyer who specializes in dental malpractice, but alas, he is too busy right now.

Has anyone here been in this position of having to sue ?  Any suggestions or tips ?

Thankfully I never have had to. But it does sound like you might not be left with that option.

Thankfully I never have had this.

Kind of figured my case was a bit rare... I was just wondering if anyone had to sue any businesses for any reason and what it was like. I don't want to do this, but I have no other options. They have to right their wrong.
It sucks, but I'm the one missing a part of my body that was perfectly healthy and can't be replaced (without spending a small fortune).

I know it's a downer of a thread, but I was fishing for anyone here that may have had to go thru a lawsuit since I'm a lawsuit virgin.

The company I work for has been sued...but sadly that's not at all uncommon in my field.

Sorry to hear that you're in this position.  I've never sued before either.
