Virtually everyone hires a professional at some point, whether it’s a physician, a financial professional such as an accountant, an architectural engineer, or even a lawyer. Unfortunately, professionals do not always meet the minimum standards of care or service in their profession. In legal terms, this may mean that they have committed professional negligence or malpractice.

In cases where this negligence affects you in the workplace, our workers’ compensation lawyers may be able to assist as you seek compensation for the treatment of your injuries and lost wages.

In other areas, such as public premises liability or automotive products liability, our personal negligence lawyers may take a different approach.

By far, the most common type of professional negligence involves the medical and health care industry. Most are familiar with medical malpractice lawsuits, but there are many other forms of malpractice and negligence that can involve the health care field.

Unfortunately, the impact of medical negligence very often results in illness or physical injuries, which can have an absolutely catastrophic physical and financial impact on the victim. This is where an experienced wrongful death lawyer can help, working to help you recover compensation for your losses.

In many cases, these effects can last a lifetime. Health care negligence covers a number of different areas, such as:

Our team of malpractice and professional negligence lawyers will work hard to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Professional negligence and malpractice can be challenging to prove due to the subjective nature of many cases. For example, in a medical malpractice case, your lawyer may be tasked with proving what a doctor knew or did not know at a certain point in time. That is a task that is inherently challenging.

What’s more, in many professional fields, there may be several viable solutions to the same problem. The absence of a concrete “right” and “wrong” course of action can complicate matters.

Additionally, there may not necessarily be concrete evidence of a professional’s actions or inactions, which means that the courts must rely on witness testimony. These and other factors can make professional negligence cases challenging.

If you suffered as the result of business negligence or another act of malpractice while on the job and sustained an injury as a result of a professional’s alleged actions or inactions, then a workers’ compensation claim may be an effective avenue for helping you recover your losses, both in terms of your health and your lost wages.

Many are uncertain as to where to get workers’ comp benefits. Typically, you will go through your employer, who can provide you information on their workers’ compensation insurance provider.
