Malpractice Negligence Attorney

Malpractice cases usually involve an alleged civil wrong done to an injured party by a professional. The professional will have had a duty of care to that party and the failure to exercise that care will have led to the plaintiff sustaining injuries or damages. Malpractice, like all other torts, is a type of civil wrong that allows the injured plaintiff to file a malpractice claim or lawsuit against the professional for financial compensation.

Our Atlanta, Georgia-based lawyers at Finch McCranie LLP can help you deal with the different issues that may arise during a professional malpractice case. Our Atlanta personal injury law firms can help you obtain your financial recovery for the harm that you have suffered.

Malpractice cases can be more complicated than regular injury cases because the cases are against professionals. Unlike a car accident case, where the motor vehicle driver is clearly liable for a wrongful death that occurred because the driver was speeding or ran a red light and crashed into the victim’s vehicle, proving liability in a professional malpractice case can be more challenging.

Defining a professional’s exercise of the standard of care is not as easy to do. An expert in the professional’s field will have to provide testimony regarding whether the defendant’s behavior or actions was below the expected professional standard. Even then, it can be hard to prove that the defendant’s conduct caused injury to the plaintiff. In any kind of malpractice lawsuit, the plaintiff has to prove that he or she would not have gotten hurt or incurred damages if the alleged malpractice did not take place.

Professional malpractice occurs when a professional did not use the ordinary care and skill that other professionals would have applied when faced with a similar case, problem, situation, or circumstance.

• Duty: The professional owed the plaintiff a duty of care to act properly.
• Breach: The professional was in breach of that duty.
• Causation: The professional’s actions caused the plaintiff to sustain damages.
• Damages: The plaintiff suffered injuries and/or lost money as a result of the professional’s malpractice.

These cases —especially business malpractice, IT professional malpractice, judicial malpractice, legal malpractice, architectural malpractice, medical malpractice, and engineering malpractice —must be handled with the help of an experienced professional malpractice attorney.
