Malpractice comes in many Forms

What comes to mind first when you think of a malpractice lawsuit? The answer is probably medical malpractice which is when a healthcare professional fails to uphold his or her duties to maintain benchmark levels of proper care. But malpractice isn’t just about doctors, dentists, nurses, hospitals or others. Malpractice comes in many forms and many ways. Johnson Flora PLLC is a professional liability law office whose staff will help you with different types of malpractice claims and representation.

What is professional malpractice?

A professional — for example, an accountant, an engineer, an architect, even an attorney —is negligent and committing malpractice if he or she fails to observe the appropriate standard of care when providing you with services. Or maybe misconduct is involved. Perhaps your attorney forgot to file an answer to the court within the customary statute of limitations. Maybe your broker mishandled your money or your accountant breached his or her fiduciary duty.

Our focus is legal malpractice

At Seattle's Johnson Flora, we believe that lawyers should be held accountable for substandard practices that damage their clients. When you hire a professional, you anticipate expert advice and skilled services. You place your happiness and general welfare in his or her hands with the expectation that they will meet or exceed the standards of their profession.

What is professional liability law?

The law of professional liability exists to provide a system to compensate people injured by the negligence of professionals, including lawyers. Legal malpractice cases, as well as other professional liability cases, are complicated, expensive, and difficult to endure. Investigative efforts and case resolution can be problematic. You should only hire an attorney who is experienced in this type of litigation and is someone you can trust.
