In another recent and noteworthy case of medical negligence, after more than five years of litigation, Summons Abogados has achieved a significant victory for its client in a dental negligence case. The Provincial Court of Ciudad Real ruled in favor of the plaintiff, granting her compensation of 70,000 euros, including principal and interest.
The ruling, issued in Judgment No. 329/23 by the Provincial Court, Second Section of Ciudad Real, largely confirms the judgment issued by the Court of First Instance and Instruction No. 2 of Tomelloso.
Case Background:
The lawsuit originated due to a series of defective dental treatments provided by a renowned dental clinic, which resulted in significant harm to the patient. Among the allegations were claims of professional malpractice by the clinic due to lack of resources, which led to the therapeutic failure of the treatment, motivated by:
- Defective diagnosis.
- Defective treatment planning.
- Defective technical execution in dental extractions, implant placements, and prosthetics.
- Defective patient follow-up with serious deficiencies in medical records.
- Failure to provide information, including omission of relevant documents or others with severe formal defects.
The patient's defense, handled by Summons Abogados, successfully argued that the clinic had violated the lex artis ad hoc, a legal principle establishing the expected standard of professional care in medical practices.
Implications of the Ruling:
This ruling is significant as it underscores the importance of specialized legal advice in cases of medical negligence. Summons Abogados, with its experience and specialized knowledge in Health Law and Civil Liability, once again demonstrates its ability to handle complex cases with successful outcomes.
