INADEQUATE DENTAL CARE TO PRISONERS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT UPDATE

Updating my July 11, 2014 Blog, we are still actively litigating a class-action case in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, [Johannes v. Washington], advocating constitutionally inadequate dental care to prisoners in the custody of the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDC).  We represent prisoners as plaintiffs seeking to form a class of prisoners receiving constitutionally inadequate dental care. 

ORAL CANCER SETTLEMENT:  On April 14, 2016 we negotiated a very substantial oral cancer settlement for a client treated by dentists at a teaching dental clinic offering multiple services.  Client exclusively treated with the clinic for all aspects of dental health.  However, for over a year chronic sores on client’s tongue were either ignored, or not suspected as oral cancer.  The sores continued to grow and developed into oral cancer.
