Malpractice lawyers typically handle cases involving medical malpractice, legal malpractice, and professional malpractice.
Medical malpractice
Medical malpractice cases involve situations where medical professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospital staff make errors or are negligent in their care of a patient, causing the patient harm or injury. This can include mistakes during surgery, incorrect medication dosage, failure to diagnose a condition, or misreading test results.
Legal malpractice
Legal malpractice cases involve situations where a lawyer or law firm is negligent in representing a client, causing harm to the client's legal case. This can include missing important deadlines, providing incorrect legal advice, failing to file necessary paperwork, or breaching fiduciary duty.
Professional malpractice
Professional malpractice cases encompass a broad range of professions, including but not limited to, architects, engineers, accountants, and financial advisors. These cases involve situations where professionals fail to provide the appropriate level of care, skill, or knowledge expected of them, resulting in harm or injury to their clients.
It is important to note that malpractice cases can be complex and may require expert witness testimony, medical records, and other evidence to support the claim. Additionally, there may be certain limitations or exceptions to filing a malpractice claim, such as statute of limitations or sovereign immunity. It is recommended that anyone considering a malpractice claim speak with a licensed attorney in their jurisdiction for further guidance.
