Kyle Kordich obtained a unanimous defense verdict in a Supreme Court, Saratoga County
Kyle Kordich obtained a unanimous defense verdict in a Supreme Court, Saratoga County dental malpractice case in October, 2021 after a one-week trial.
Plaintiff claimed that the defendant improperly performed pulpotomy, resulting in the need for an extraction and root canal. Plaintiff claimed this ultimately led to a subsequent infection which resulted in mandibular osteomyelitis for which the plaintiff needed to undergo IV antibiotic therapy, hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments and multiple tooth extractions. Mr. Kordich established through the testimony of a dental expert, an endodontic expert and an expert in infectious disease, that there was no departure from the accepted standards of dental treatment and that the plaintiff’s hyperbaric oxygen treatment was unnecessary and that the multiple tooth extractions were unrelated to the plaintiff’s osteomyelitis. The jury agreed, and returned a unanimous verdict in favor of the defendant after six days of testimony.
