Litigation against negligent and reckless professionals

Litigation against negligent and reckless professionals

On Behalf of Hantzes & Associates | Jan 27, 2021 | Uncategorized |

Over time, Virginia residents can acquire a wealth of knowledge about a vast scope of topics. They may know a little bit about a lot of things, but only be experts about a few chosen topics related to their professions or interests. When a medical, legal, or financial matter outside of their scope of knowledge comes up, they may solicit the help of a professional to guide them through their situation.

Professionals like doctors and lawyers are expected to act in their patients and clients’ best interests. They possess duties to those that they serve to avoid causing them harm and to help them. From time to time, professionals commit mistakes and make errors that hurt those who have trusted them for help.

When this happens, victims may seek assistance to recover their losses from claims of professional malpractice. This post will generally discuss professional malpractice but provides no legal advice. Not all attorneys represent victims in professional malpractice claims, and those that do can answer case-specific questions for those that they represent.

Types of professional malpractice

As stated, professional malpractice happens when a professional breaches their duty of care to someone to whom they have a responsibility. Professional malpractice can arise in the following fields:

  • Medical: Medical or hospital negligence may result in medical malpractice
  • Legal: Mistakes made by an attorney may result in legal malpractice
  • Insurance: Acts of bad faith may result in in insurance malpractice
  • Building/Construction: Architects and engineers may commit malpractice in their work on building projects

Taking on a professional who is alleged to have committed malpractice can be hard for a victim to manage on their own.

Help with professional malpractice claims

Professionals accused of malpractice can be hard to sue. They are experts in their fields and can work within their spheres of understanding to present strong cases to protect their interests. Victims of professional malpractice can level the playing field by hiring attorneys with professional malpractice representation knowledge. Victims have rights, and attorneys can help them right the wrongs that have harmed them due to professional malpractice.
