A malpractice lawyer typically handles cases where a professional, such as a doctor or lawyer, has provided substandard care to a patient or client, resulting in harm or injury. This type of personal injury law, known as malpractice, covers cases where negligence or wrongful conduct was involved in the provision of professional services.
Some examples of cases that a malpractice lawyer would handle include a doctor who misdiagnosed a patient resulting in a worsening medical condition, a lawyer who provided inaccurate legal advice leading to a client losing a case, or an accountant who made a mistake on a client's tax returns resulting in an audit and penalty fees.
It is important to note that malpractice cases are not limited to just medical and legal professions but can apply to other professionals such as architects, engineers, and financial advisors.
In order to have a successful malpractice case, it must be proved that the professional in question acted negligently or intentionally committed wrongful conduct which resulted in harm or injury to the client or patient.
It is important to consult with a licensed attorney who specializes in malpractice law if you have been a victim of professional negligence or wrongful conduct. They can help you determine if you have a case and advise you on the best course of action.
