Legal Malpractice
Legal malpractice usually occurs when a lawyer fails to do something he or she should have done. Some common examples include:
- Failing to file a personal injury claim within the statute of limitations
- Failing to file an appeal promptly
- Advising a client to settle a case for far less than it is worth
In rare cases, an attorney may actually take money that was entrusted by or owed to a client.
Legal malpractice cases are challenging in that the plaintiff must actually prove two cases — first that a financial recovery was likely and second, that the attorney failed to do something that caused a loss.
Architectural/Engineering Malpractice
These cases usually involve negligence that causes a serious construction defect and which requires significant expenditures to remedy or repair. They require expert analysis by engineering or construction professionals.
