Nicholas Hampson Biography I Dental Solicitor I Dental Law

About Me

I first joined the Dental Law Partnership as a paralegal in 2015 as part of the Disclosure team. Since then, I’ve received a training contract through DLP and qualified as a solicitor in 2020. As I have worked for the team for several years, I have gained a lot of knowledge about the legal industry, which makes me well placed to help you with your dental negligence claim.

When I’m not working for my clients, my main hobbies are sport and music. I enjoy going to music gigs and playing guitar, and I also like football (both playing and watching). Yoga is another passion of mine.

As a dental negligence solicitor, I aim to improve the lives of my clients and seek justice when they have suffered from dental negligence.

Experience

I have gained a lot of my experience through my work at the Dental Law Partnership. I first started as a paralegal in 2015, before being promoted to trainee solicitor in 2018. In 2020, I successfully completed my training and I have been working as a dental solicitor since then.

Before joining the Dental Law Partnership, I worked briefly for a law firm in Manchester – before that, I worked briefly in the commercial property conveyancing sector. However, law is my passion, and I aim to increase my experience the more I work for the company.

I am also SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) regulated.

Cases

Chloe Glew – The Dental Law Partnership took on Mrs Glew’s case in 2019 after two dentists failed to diagnose and treat tooth decay. The claimant also suffered from poor dental treatment, as badly placed fillings and substandard root canal treatment were administered to her over a period of 14 years. Because of this, Mrs Glew had to pay for expensive restorative treatment with another dentist, as well as suffering from severe pain. The case was settled in 2023, with the claimant receiving £23,000 in compensation.

Katherine Lake – Ms Lake suffered from an unnecessary tooth extraction which left her with permanent mouth issues as a result. The Dental Law Partnership investigated the case in 2018 and found that the tooth did not need to be removed, leading to complications with Ms Lake’s mental and physical health. Whilst the defendants did not admit liability, an out-of-court settlement was reached in 2022 for £19,000.

Did your dentist miss signs of tooth decay? You may be entitled to compensation. Learn about dental negligence and how The Dental Law Partnership can help.

An elderly man with white hair, sat in a dentist chair with his mouth open. A female dentist is injecting his gum with a numbing solution and using a dental mirror to see the inside of his mouth.

Dental numbing is frequently used during dental procedures to ensure patients are comfortable and don’t feel any pain. However, if you’ve not had a local anaesthesia injection before, you may be nervous about what to expect.

A man holding his jaw with his hand and grimacing, there is a red highlighted area on his jaw highlighting where the pain is.

Most patients recover quickly from a tooth extraction with no complications, but occasionally, infections can develop following an extraction. When this happens, it can affect not just the socket where the tooth was removed, but in more serious cases, the surrounding jawbone.
