Settlement in Conscious Sedation Dentistry Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Gray Ritter Graham attorney Pat Hagerty obtained a settlement from a St. Louis dentist in a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a woman whose husband underwent a dental procedure known as conscious sedation. The 47-year-old man went to the dentist to get teeth extracted and receive dental implants. The dentist, who was inexperienced with the dangerous sedation drugs, failed to recognize that the patient was suffering from oxygen deprivation during the procedure.
