Legal Question in Business Law in California

Medical malpractice versus dental malpractice

I am a risk managment analyst working for The Dentist Insurance Company (TDIC) in Sacramento, CA and have been given the task of writing an article on the similarities/differences between medical malpractice and dental malpractice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Medical malpractice versus dental malpractice

They are similar in the sense that both types of cases require the plaintiff to support their claim of malpractice with standard of care testimony. I don't practice in either area, but I also presume that dental malpractice claims would be subject to MICRA. I do have a friend in San Diego who does medical malpractice defense work. If you care to send me your email address, I can get the two of you in touch to discuss the subject of your article.
