A court seized the dental bills to reimburse the patient 422,000 rubles for low-quality dentures.
A resident of Perm went to a private dental clinic in order to install dentures in the upper and lower jaw. After finishing the treatment, the patient began to experience discomfort and pain when chewing.
The mandibular prosthesis was replaced free of charge under warranty, but it did not improve, after which the man came to the clinic 12 more times. Then he asked to end the contract and return the money. The clinic ignored the demand, and the patient went to court.
The inspection confirmed serious violations in the production and installation of prostheses as well as many deficiencies in the medical documentation. The court considered the clinic's claims regarding the nature of the work performed and the characteristics of the patient's body to be insufficient. Therefore, the medical center was ordered to pay the plaintiff 422 thousand rubles, including compensation for moral damage, penalties and a fine.
When the court's decision was delivered to the court clerks, they seized the clinic's accounts. The medical center then paid the entire amount to the patient.
