Malpractice lawyers typically handle cases that involve allegations of professional misconduct by physicians, nurses, physical therapists, dentists, and other medical practitioners. These cases typically involve claims that the practitioner provided substandard care or failed to meet the appropriate standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to the patient.
Other types of malpractice cases could involve lawyers, accountants or financial advisors where the professional did not abide by appropriate ethical standards or industry procedures, causing damage to a client.
Malpractice cases can also be categorized based on the type of injury or harm suffered by the patient or client, including wrongful death, birth injuries, misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, or other medical negligence.
There are some limitations or exceptions to malpractice cases, such as the statute of limitations, which sets a time limit on filing a malpractice claim. Additionally, in some cases, the patient or client must provide evidence of damages or harm suffered as a direct result of the practitioner's negligence.
If you have been a victim of malpractice or believe that you have a claim, it is essential that you speak to an experienced malpractice lawyer as soon as possible to assess the strength of your case and determine the best course of action to protect your legal rights.
