Our client, who lives abroad, came to Turkey to get dental implants. However, after returning to Germany, she started to experience serious health problems: blood infections, skin rashes, eczema… After months of vists to the doctor and countless treatments, the truth came out – the problem was that the implant in Turkey contained allergens!
During the trial, the doctor’s defense was based on the documents signed by the client regarding the possibility of allergies and the fact that allergy testing is not common in medicine. Moreover, even the expert reports were not in favor of the client. However, we knew the intricacies of health law.
So, how did we win this case?
In line with the case law of the Supreme Court, we asked the question: Does the promised procedure remain or has it been removed? The client's implants had been removed - the procedure the doctor had performed no longer existed. This detail was enough for us to win the case! Because in some cases, the file situation and the available data are sufficient to conclude the case in favor of the case with only this detail.
Conclusion?
The client received the implant fee she paid, revised treatment costs and moral compensation for what she suffered. This was because we know the details of health law and defend our clients' rights to the end.
