Minimizing Your Risk For Professional Negligence And Malpractice Claims
When we work with certain professionals, we know that there are legal and ethical standards they must adhere to. However, there may be a time when you feel a professional has not lived up to those standards and you have suffered a loss as a result of their actions.
I am attorney Michael. J. Joshi and I handle professional negligence and medical malpractice cases in Kansas and Missouri. If you have questions about whether or not you were the victim of professional negligence, email me or call my law firm, The Law Office of Michael J. Joshi at 913-428-0199 to discuss your legal options.
What Is Professional Negligence And Malpractice?
Professionals in certain fields – such as stock brokers, accountants, insurance agents, lawyers and doctors – are required to uphold a standard of care to clients in their profession. Professional negligence and malpractice may occur when they fail to meet that standard of care.
It is important to note that a bad outcome does not necessarily mean that there has been professional negligence. Sometimes we do not get the result we want even though no one has committed professional negligence.
I will help you determine whether professional negligence or malpractice applies to your situation.
Legal Negligence
Legal negligence can occur for many reasons. Some common reasons include an attorney missing deadlines, pressuring a client to settle their case, a conflict of interest or pressure to go to trial. I can help you determine whether you have suffered legal negligence.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice cases can cover a wide range of cases, including:
- Birth injuries
- Serious surgical errors
- Failure to diagnose
- Misdiagnoses
- Unnecessary surgery
