Do You Have a Legal Malpractice Case?

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 due to missing the statute of limitations date or not hiring an expert to prove liability or damages or failing to file the proper documentation with the court that results in your case being dismissed or any other negligent act that causes you some type of financial or compensable harm. If you feel that you have a 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 malpractice cases.
Legal malpractice cases are unique and are quite complicated because they involve a trial within a trial. You have to prove not only that your prior attorney has committed malpractice but you also have to prove your damages by trying the underlying case that this attorney previously handled where the malpractice was committed. For example, if your prior attorney was handling a personal injury case for you that was dismissed by the court because of legal malpractice, you would have to prove that your prior attorney committed malpractice and the sub-trial would have to determine the value of your underlying personal injury case so your damages could be found and awarded.
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. 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.
