Dental and Medical Malpractice in Tennessee

Negligence by health care providers is the highest contributing factor to medical and dental malpractice in the state of Tennessee. Misconduct and fraud also play major roles. The state statute of limitations for medical or dental malpractice is one year from the date of injury or death. In the event of the injury or death occurring after several days, the malpractice is more difficult to validate. With many years of experience in the field, JD.MD can provide clear-cut and steadfast case assessments with medical and dental malpractice expert opinions.
