Ceasing practice

Does Dental Protection have a policy to try and settle claims as soon as possible rather than defend the member?
21 June 2021
It is a common misconception that we settle claims as quickly as possible because it is cheaper and easier for us to do so. This is simply not true – indeed, in the long run this would just encourage more claims. Rather, we take into consideration all of the evidence and information that we have available – including your record-keeping notes and consent documents, and give you our considered view on the relative merits of settling or defending a claim, based upon our experience and expertise in these matters.
