Malpractice Law

Malpractice law is a legal area that addresses situations where a professional, such as a doctor, lawyer, or accountant, fails to provide the standard of care expected and, as a result, causes harm or injury to a client or patient. To succeed in a malpractice claim, the injured party must prove that the professional's negligence or misconduct directly led to their damages. Essentially, it holds professionals accountable when their mistakes or careless actions result in preventable harm, ensuring they uphold their duty of care to those they serve.
