As a **malpractice lawyer**, or **professional liability attorney**, the types of cases I handle typically involve clients who have suffered harm or damages as a result of the negligence, incompetence, or intentional wrongdoing of a licensed professional, such as a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or accountant.

Examples of malpractice cases may include:

1. **Medical Malpractice:** This occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care expected in their field, resulting in injury or harm to the patient.
2. **Legal Malpractice:** This occurs when a lawyer fails to represent their client in a competent and diligent manner, resulting in harm or damage to the client.
3. **Engineering Malpractice:** This can occur when an engineer fails to design, construct, or inspect a project properly, resulting in harm, injury, or property damage.
4. **Accounting Malpractice:** This happens when an accountant fails to apply professional judgment in their work, resulting in financial harm to their client.

It's important to note that malpractice cases may also involve other licensed professionals, such as architects, real estate brokers, and financial advisers, depending on the jurisdiction and the specific laws governing their respective fields.

In summary, as a malpractice lawyer, my main focus is to help clients who have suffered harm or damages due to the negligence or misconduct of licensed professionals. It's important to seek legal advice from a licensed attorney experienced in malpractice cases if you believe you have been a victim of professional negligence or wrongdoing.
