Cristian Morales has filed a lawsuit alleging professional negligence against a dental practice, highlighting the severe impact of alleged malpractice on his health and well-being. The complaint was filed by Morales in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, on November 8, 2024, targeting Sunnyvale Dental Care and its associated entities.
According to the complaint, Cristian Morales accuses Sunnyvale Dental Care, Bhawna Gupta D.D.S., and Bhawna Gupta Dental Group, Inc., among others referred to as "Does 1 through 20," of failing to provide adequate dental care. The plaintiff claims that these defendants were negligent in their duties while he was under their care starting June 4, 2024. Morales alleges that this negligence resulted in serious injuries including nerve damage which may lead to permanent disability. He contends that the defendants did not exercise the necessary knowledge and skill expected in their profession and failed to adhere to standard practices within the healthcare community.
The complaint outlines several accusations against the defendants: failure to properly diagnose and treat Morales, inadequate professional services, and not informing him about potential risks and options regarding his treatment. As a result of these alleged failures, Morales asserts he suffered significant physical pain, mental anguish, and economic damages due to ongoing medical expenses required for further treatment.
Morales is seeking various forms of relief from the court. He demands special damages covering dental expenses and other economic injuries resulting from the alleged malpractice. Additionally, he seeks general damages for pain and suffering endured due to the defendants' actions. Morales also requests interest allowed by law on any awarded sums along with coverage for all legal costs incurred during this suit.
Representing Cristian Morales is Dane Levy from Levy Law Firm. The case has been assigned Case No.: 24CV451294 in front of judges at the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County.
