Legal Malpractice
1. What is legal malpractice?
Legal malpractice cases involve a negligent or careless act
committed by an attorney. A common error made in such cases by a lawyer
is failing to file a lawsuit on time.
2. If I have a legal malpractice case, what should I do?
If you feel that you have a legal malpractice case, where the value
of the damages is at least $100,000.00, you should obtain the advise of
an experienced trial attorney who has expertise in the handling and
presentation of legal malpractice cases.
3. How do I go about getting experts to help me with my legal malpractice case?
It is important to have an experienced trial attorney who will be
able to suggest a team of experts that can range from attorneys, to,
depending upon your case, a private investigator, doctors, and
economists to help develop your case.
4. Who will pay the expenses of hiring all of these experts?
In most cases, the law firm or attorneys will advance all costs and
expenses of the case as they are incurred. Once the case is concluded,
they would be reimbursed for their costs out of the recovery. In some
states, even if there is no recovery, the client is still responsible
for the costs and expenses of the case even though the client owes no
legal fees. In other states, if there is no recovery, the client will
owe nothing for the costs and expenses, which will be absorbed by the
law firm or attorney.
