whats it worth??
What is the name of your state? TX
My situation involves a dental malpractice case. Since the incident I have filed a grievance with the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners. It wasn't until very recent, Dr. X received information about this complaint and has now contacted me to "settle matters amicably".
My question: "Is $2000.00 unreasonable for the pain and suffering he caused"? The result from his negligence caused me to loose my permanent molar.
Here is the letter he wrote:

Voice mail message from Dr. X:
