Legal Question in Disability Law in California

I had an incident in my dental office, both of children's lips were burn while the dentist was doing fillings. Dentist try to blame my children of biting their lips which was not true, as soon as the procedures were done I noticed blisters on their lower lips and it was burning them, second the office makes you wait 2 hours before calling us in, plus the dentist skipped one of the child to perform another patient making us wait longer, and the staff is very unprofessional, staff speaks about patients outloud and the office manager was not helpful at all. I called another manager and explained the cituation and how my children were burned and in a couple of days I received a letter from the company's ceo stating that my children can no longer been seen in any of his offices and that the office has certain procedures that I did not follow. They made it look that I am the one the did not follow procedures to cover, I feel, there malpractices. I don't know about dental laws and procedures. I was in the procedure rooms with both of my children is this against dental procedures?

What ever procedures you might have violated, none of them lead to your children's injuries or probably made them worse. You definitely have a case, but it is likely not worth very much. You could hire an attorney to spend 1-2 hours to write a demand letter in the hope that they will settle with you and then sue in small claims court if they do not. I do such things at $100 per hour.
