Illustrated Verdict, Inc. © All rights reserved.
Case Overview:
A woman needed to have an impacted #6 tooth extracted from her hard palate. During the procedure the palatine artery was nicked and started bleeding. The surgeon had to cauterize the bleed and because of the tight space of the mouth she suffered a slight burn injury on her lower lip. The jury found in favor of the defense.
