Attorneys do take cases on contingencies. If you have a good case the dentist's insurance company will rather settle with you vs going to court. They wont eat you alive, if anything they will get you to bite on a settlement that is a lot less than you would have won if you decided to go to court. In some cases if the amount isn't too high the dentist will settle with you vs having you make a claim because he knows if you do file a claim and get a settlement that his insurance will be jacked up 10x more for many years and it will cost him a lot more in the long run.
