Attorneys have a fiduciary connection with their clients and are required to behave with diligence, care and skill. But, as with all professionals attorneys make mistakes.

There are many mistakes made by lawyers are considered to be malpractice. To establish legal malpractice, the victim must prove obligation, breach, causation and damages. Let's take a look at each one of these aspects.

Duty-Free

Medical professionals and doctors swear to use their education and experience to help patients and not cause further harm. The duty of care is the basis for the right of patients to receive compensation when they suffer injuries due to medical malpractice. Your lawyer can help determine whether or not your doctor's actions violated the duty of care, and whether these breaches caused injury or illness to you.

To establish a duty of care, your lawyer must to prove that a medical professional has an legal relationship with you that had a fiduciary obligation to exercise an acceptable level of expertise and care. This relationship may be proven by eyewitness testimony, doctor-patient records and expert testimony of doctors with similar educational, experience and training.

Your lawyer will also have to prove that the medical professional violated their duty of care by not living up to the accepted standards of care in their area of expertise. This is often referred to as negligence. Your lawyer will assess the conduct of the defendant to what a reasonable individual would do in the same circumstance.

Finally, your lawyer must show that the defendant's breach of duty directly resulted in damage or loss to you. This is referred to as causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence such as your medical documents, witness statements and expert testimony to show that the defendant's inability to meet the standards of care in your case was the direct cause of your injury or loss.

Breach

A doctor has a duty to patients of care that are consistent with the highest standards of medical professionalism. If a doctor doesn't meet these standards, and the result is an injury or medical malpractice, then negligence could occur. Expert testimony from medical professionals who have similar training, certificates or experience can help determine the appropriate level of care for a specific situation. Federal and state laws, as well as institute policies, define what doctors are required to do for certain kinds of patients.

To prevail in a malpractice case it is necessary to prove that the doctor breached his or her duty of care and that the breach was a direct cause of injury. This is known in legal terms as the causation element and it is vital that it be established. If a doctor has to obtain an xray of an injured arm, they must put the arm in a cast and then correctly set it. If the doctor failed to do this and the patient suffered a permanent loss of function of that arm, then malpractice could have occurred.

Causation

Attorney malpractice claims are based on the evidence that proves that the lawyer's mistakes resulted in financial losses for the client. For instance when a lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, resulting in the case being lost for ever the party who suffered damages could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.

It is crucial to be aware that not all mistakes made by lawyers are a sign of malpractice. The mistakes that involve strategy and planning aren't usually considered to be a violation of the law and lawyers have a lot of latitude to make judgement calls so long as they're reasonable.

The law also allows lawyers the right to refuse to conduct discovery on behalf of their clients as long as the decision was not arbitrary or a case of negligence. Legal malpractice can be caused when a lawyer fails to find important documents or facts, like medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of talent malpractice law firm are the inability to add certain defendants or claims, such as not noticing a survival count in a wrongful-death case or the recurrent failure to communicate with clients.

It's also important to keep in mind that it must be proven that, if not for the lawyer's negligence, the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. The claim of malpractice by the plaintiff is deemed invalid when it isn't proven. This makes bringing legal malpractice claims difficult. For this reason, it's important to choose a seasoned attorney to represent you.

Damages

A plaintiff must prove that the lawyer's actions led to actual financial losses in order to prevail in a legal malpractice suit. In a lawsuit, this must be proven with evidence such as expert testimony and correspondence between the attorney and client. In addition the plaintiff has to prove that a reasonable lawyer would have avoided the harm caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is referred to as the proximate cause.

Malpractice occurs in many ways. The most frequent errors include: not meeting the deadline or statute of limitations; failing to perform an examination of a conflict on an issue; applying the law in a way that is not appropriate to the client's situation; or breaking the fiduciary duty (i.e. mixing trust funds with an attorney's personal accounts), mishandling of a case, and failing to communicate with the client.

In most medical malpractice cases the plaintiff seeks compensatory damages. The compensations pay for out-of pocket expenses and losses, such as medical and hospitals bills, costs of equipment to aid in recovery and lost wages. In addition, victims can be able to claim non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life and emotional suffering.

In a lot of legal malpractice cases there are lawsuits for punitive as well as compensatory damages. The former compensates victims for losses caused by the negligence of the attorney, whereas the latter is designed to discourage future malpractice by the defendant.
