malpractice lawsuits

Malpractice lawsuits occur when a professional, often in fields like medicine or law, fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a client or patient. To succeed in a malpractice case, the injured party must typically prove that the professional was negligent, that this negligence directly caused the injury, and that actual damages resulted. These lawsuits aim to hold professionals accountable for their actions and provide compensation to victims for losses related to the negligence. Malpractice can involve medical errors, legal misrepresentation, or any professional misconduct leading to harm.
