I contracted Hepatitis C from contaminated dental equipment at a clinic, with investigation revealing they were “sterilizing” instruments in a dishwasher instead of an autoclave to save money, affecting over 200 patients. What’s my case value?

Dishwasher “sterilization” of dental instruments represents gross negligence and fraud, with Hepatitis C transmission typically warranting damages between $500,000 and $1.5 million for lifetime infection through profit-driven safety violations. Your chronic hepatitis from dental cleaning demonstrates healthcare betrayal, as dishwashers cannot achieve temperatures or pressure required for sterilization, virtually guaranteeing disease transmission between patients. The 200 affected patients prove systematic criminal conduct, not oversight, as choosing dishwashers over autoclaves saved thousands while exposing patients to bloodborne pathogens through contaminated instruments. Discovery will reveal how long improper sterilization occurred, cost savings achieved, whether staff objected, regulatory violations, and decision-making valuing profits over safety. Hepatitis C requires lifetime monitoring, expensive treatment, activity restrictions, and employment limitations, transforming routine dental care into chronic disease through inexcusable greed. Dental insurance may exclude criminal conduct while regulatory fines and license revocation limit recovery sources, making early aggressive pursuit essential before assets disappear. The entirely preventable infection through proper autoclaving makes your hepatitis particularly outrageous, as following basic sterilization requirements would have prevented disease transmission.
