Allcare Dental Closure National Class Action Lawsuit Filed

By William Eadie

Allcare Dental's recent and unexpected closure has left Allcare Dental patients waiting on services in a lurch—without records or a dentist. While Allcare Dental has been providing some assistance in getting records to other dental chains, many of Allcare Dental's patients had already paid hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in prepayments and deposits for work that was never done.

Now my Cleveland-based law firm, Spangenberg, Shibley & Liber, has filed an Allcare Dental Class Action Lawsuit to try and help aggrieved customers get those payments back. The suit, filed in the Western District of New York by class action attorneys Nick DiCello, Stuart Scott, and William Eadie, seeks to cover a national class. As Nick diCello explained:

We've been getting a stream of calls from former Allcare Dental patients from North Dakota to Tennessee, angry and upset that Allcare Dental shut down. Some former Allcare Dental patients had their teeth pulled and were waiting on permanent dentures. Other Allcare Dental customers had taken out large loans for work that was never done—and some are still paying on those loans. You can imagine the anger an Allcare Dental client feels at not only not having the work done, but not having the money to get it done somewhere else because they're still paying the bank for the work Allcare Dental never finished in the first place!

Because this is a class action, only some of the plaintiffs are named in the complaint (called the "class representatives," if and when the court certifies them). If you are interested in potentially becoming a class representative, visit our Allcare Dental Class Action Lawsuit information website at www.allcaredentalclassaction.com.
