What do I do about permanent injury caused by dentist she does not have malpractice insurance I cannot get compensation?
If you have strong proof, take her to court and go after her personal assets. The fact that she has not been wise enough to protect herself doesn't mean you are not entitled to compensation. Find an attorney that specializes in this sort of thing so you know you have someone that knows the real ins and outs of such a case.
Added: If the DDS was incorporated as a business (e.g.: an LLC), you may only have access to whatever her business assets are, and not her personal assets. As stated above, consult an attorney who specializes in these matters for further definitive infomration.
