A malpractice lawyer typically handles cases where a professional, such as a doctor or lawyer, has acted negligently or inappropriately which has caused harm or injury to a client or patient. These cases may involve medical malpractice, legal malpractice, or dental malpractice.
Medical malpractice cases involve claims against healthcare professionals, such as doctors or nurses, for substandard medical care, failure to diagnose or treat a medical condition, or surgical errors. Legal malpractice cases arise when an attorney fails to provide competent legal representation or breaches their ethical duties to a client. Dental malpractice claims may arise when a dentist provides substandard dental care that causes injury or harm to a patient.
In addition, a malpractice lawyer may also handle cases involving other professional negligence, such as accounting or engineering malpractice.
It's important to note that not all cases involving harm or injury caused by a professional's actions may constitute malpractice. The actions of the professional must be proven to fall below the standard of care expected of them in their given profession, which can be a complex legal issue.
If someone believes they have been the victim of malpractice, it's important to seek the advice of an experienced malpractice lawyer, who can evaluate the potential claim and provide guidance on the legal options available.
