- Accounting Malpractice: Accounting malpractice occurs when an accountant or financial professional fails to provide appropriate services, resulting in harm or injury to a client. Examples can include misrepresenting financial information, failing to detect fraud, or providing inaccurate tax advice.
- Architectural Malpractice: Architectural malpractice occurs when an architect fails to provide appropriate services, resulting in harm or injury to a client. Examples can include faulty building design, inadequate structural support, or failure to adhere to building codes and regulations.
