Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York

It seems like the statute of limitations has ran and that you may be barred from commencing a lawsuit on this case. The statute of limitations for all dental/medical cases is two and a half years.

I agree with Mr. Kessler on the statute of limitations. However, it is also imperative to know the date your daughter was last seen by the offending dentist who performed the root canal for any problems your daughter may have experienced with her identified teeth; it may toll the statute of limitations.

Distinctly apart from the statute of limitations, you or your attorney will have to retain the services of a dentist or dental expert who can precisely identify the negligent acts committed by the offending dentist which caused or contributed to your daughter's present problems. Barring the foregoing, you may want to contact the said dentist to perform any remedial work free of charge or refund a portion of your daughter's dental bills for negligent performace of dental services.
