As a Malpractice lawyer, the cases that are typically handled revolve around professional misconduct or negligence by doctors, nurses, medical personnel, lawyers, accountants, architects, engineers, and other professionals. Malpractice occurs when a professional fails to adhere to the accepted standards of their profession, resulting in injury or harm to a patient or client.
The common types of malpractice cases that an attorney can handle include medical malpractice, legal malpractice, accounting malpractice, architectural malpractice, engineering malpractice, and other forms of professional negligence. These cases often involve issues like misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, medication errors, surgical errors, failure to obtain informed consent, negligence in construction design or modifications, inadequate planning, and mismanagement of funds.
It's worth noting that professional malpractice cases usually don't arise from ordinary mistakes or mere dissatisfaction with the outcome of services rendered. Instead, a case becomes a malpractice claim when the professional's duty of care was breached, causing harm to the plaintiff. Consequently, only an attorney who specializes in malpractice cases can help a plaintiff determine if their case constitutes malpractice and merits compensation.
In conclusion, if you're considering filing a malpractice claim, it's essential to seek legal advice from a qualified attorney who understands the specific rules and requirements of your state. The attorney will guide you through the legal process and help you understand your rights and obligations, as well as determine the compensation amount to which you're entitled.
